    Elon Musk is reportedly set to use office space in the White House complex as he assumes his role as co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aiming to slash federal spending under President Donald Trump's administration. According to reports from The New York Times and MSNBC, Musk, whose companies have received billions in federal contracts, will have an office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, adjacent to the White House. While he won't be sharing an office with Trump, this move underscores their close collaboration. The DOGE initiative reflects the administration's commitment to leveraging Musk's expertise in efficiency and innovation to streamline government operations.
