Jan 21, 2025, 12:57 AM
Elon Musk is likely to be given office space in the West Wing, placing him in close proximity to President Donald Trump, according to reports from the New York Times. This move would grant Musk, the world's richest man, direct access to the President. Additionally, President Trump has signed an executive order establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Musk is set to lead alone following the exclusion of Vivek Ramaswamy, who was initially expected to co-chair the department. Trump has stated that Musk will have an office for about 20 people within the White House to ensure the mandates of DOGE are executed.
