About 12 minutes after the first meeting of the new cabinet, President Trump addressed the elephant in the room. This was easy for him, because the elephant was standing 10 feet, wearing black clothes, hovering over the head of the table in which the president and members of his government sat.
“Is anyone who is unhappy with Elon?” Mr. Trump asked. Nervous laughter began to extend around the room. And Mr. Trump continued: “If you are, we will take it out from here.” The cabinet began applause.
It was supposed to be a joke – but how much is it funny that many officials and assistants who were crammed into the Cabinet Chamber really find that the situation is?
A few days ago, Elon Musk exceeded all their heads, and ordered millions of federal workers to provide a written explanation of how their days are spent or facing the end.
Some of the cabinet secretaries and heads of agencies have passed. The employees were asked in the state departments (led by Marco Rubio, who sat on the right of Mr. Trump) and defense (led by Beit Higseth, who sat on the left of Mr. Trump) not compliance with Mr. Musk’s order. The same for energy, internal security and justice departments.
Then Mr. Musk began publishing many people who “failed even to test INANE, which he urged in some cases by their managers.” The White House press secretary was unable or unwilling to explain what was happening or more than. It looked as if the first real struggle for the second power of the Trump administration was ongoing.
The president tried to pretend that everything was fine, but he seemed to understand on Wednesday that there was a problem in his trial. “All members of the Council of Ministers are very happy with Eleon,” published a few hours before the meeting. “The media will see this in the cabinet meeting this morning !!!”
Members of the Council of Ministers are expected to stare at Mr. Musk while standing a few minutes of meeting and began to stick.
Initially, it looked as if it might have fallen into a less powerful position at the meeting. It did not give a actual seat on the table; He was placed in a row of chairs behind him, along with other aides who are not at the treasury level, such as Stephen Miller and Peter Navarro. But then the president asked the technology pole to speak first – “I would like to be Elon Musk, please say a few words” – and Mr. Musk spent many of the rest of the meeting standing on the table that the Council of Ministers sat. Speak much more than anyone else, unlike Mr. Trump.
Mr. Musk explained to the cabinet members that he only sent this request to their employees after purifying it with the president.
He said to them: “I said, can we send an email to everyone only say what I did last week.” The president said yes. “This was a reflection of the way things usually worked in Washington – it was customary to take the fall even if the coach was blame. Now the surface was publicly referring to the finger to his boss to calm the other dams he had refuted, while he shook his head.
It was great to see Mr. Musk trying to manage up and down at the same time. He said, “President Trump has collected the best government ever, literally,” he said. “I don’t think that such a talented team has been assembled at all.”
The talented team stared at the face. He was wearing very different clothes from them. He was wearing a black maga hat and the same “technical support” shirt that he had last week when he sat for a joint interview with the President on Fox News. “I really call myself a modest technical support,” said the richest man in the world. He laughed at this little humility. A few of the cabinet secretaries have laughed politely.
Mr. Musk tried to appeal to their feeling of pity for the difficult work he did. He said, “I take a lot of Flack, and I get a lot of death threats, by the way.” He wanted them to understand how important his work is. He said: “If we do not do this,” America will be bankrupt. For this reason He has To do it. (A. a report In the Washington Post published on Wednesday, I found that Mr. Musk’s business empire is based on $ 38 billion in government financing).
Several heads in the room turned back and forth, looking forward to Mr. Musk one minute and Mr. Trump. Members of the Council of Ministers should be exposed to two billionaire heads – both of which lead millions of followers on the social media platforms they possess, which are famous for attacking anyone who dares them to challenge them.
But before the first cabinet meeting of the Trump Administration was postponed, the president was sure who knew everyone who was already responsible. One of the correspondents wanted to know how to think about “executive control” and the strength of the presidency. The correspondent asked: “Is it your opinion of your authority, that you have the ability to summon anyone or all people sitting in this schedule and issue orders that are scheduled to follow?”
Mr. Trump has somewhat reduced his voice. He said: “Oh, yes, they will follow orders, yes, will.”
No one makes mistakes in this joke.
