At a briefing in the White House together with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy took the chance to question Trump about Musk’s service.

“Elon Musk says, ‘I love Donald Trump as much as a straight man can love another man.’ What does the first lady think about it? ”Doocy asked.

With his signature flin, Trump pulled off the issue. “Oh, I think she’ll be okay with it … somehow.”

Musk’s statement came after he cemented his position as an important Trump-ally weeks after the 78-year-old returned to the White House. Milliards donated over $ 100 million to Republican causes, participated in campaign meetings and took an influential role in shaping the policy of administration.

Together, Trump and Musk have emerged as a disturbing force in Washington. During his first weeks in the service, Trump has issued sweeping executive orders – focused on Birthright Citizenship and rolling of diversity, capital and inclusion (Dei) policy.

Musk’s government -efficiency department (DODE) has led to controversy by accessing sensitive government registers, including the federal payment system that distributes social insurance controls.

The Trump administration, along with Musk’s budget-cutting dock, has also launched an outstanding USAID degradation. Almost all funding for the agency has been stopped, which effectively turns off global support and development programs. Personnel and contractors have been placed on leave or acquired, with access to agency systems that are revoked. According to democratic legislators, USAID’s data veteriners were even removed as part of the review.
