In a tense meeting held in the White House Cabinet Room, US President Donald Trump witnessed a heated exchange between Elon Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Musk accused Rubio of not firing enough staff, while Rubio defended his plans for reorganizing the State Department. The clash stemmed from Musk’s decision to close the USAID, which Rubio was supposed to control. Trump eventually stepped in to defuse the situation, commending Rubio for his work. The meeting also saw disagreements between Musk and other Trump Cabinet members, including transportation secretary Sean Duffy and Secretary of Veteran Affairs Doug Collins. Trump decided that secretaries would take charge of affairs and the DOGE team would advise, marking the beginning of curbing Musk’s unchecked decisions. Trump later denied reports of a clash, stating that both Musk and Rubio are doing a fantastic job. Musk defended himself, stating that the meeting was productive and emphasizing his knowledge on hiring good people. The President hinted at a more refined approach to cutting the federal workforce in the future. This meeting highlighted the tensions within the Trump Cabinet and the struggle for control over policy decisions.
