President Donald Trump convened his Cabinet in person on Thursday to deliver a message: You’re in charge of your departments, not Elon Musk.
According to two administration officials, Trump told top members of his administration that Musk was empowered to make recommendations to the departments but not to issue unilateral decisions on staffing and policy. Musk was also in the room.
Trump stressed that he wants to keep good people in government and not to eject capable federal workers en masse.
The president later told reporters he wants Cabinet members to “keep all the people you want, everybody that you need.”
The timing of the meeting was influenced by recent comments from Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), who said on CNN Tuesday that Cabinet secretaries should retain the full power to hire and fire, according to one official. The official said Trump has been flooded with similar concerns from other lawmakers and Cabinet secretaries.

What a silly take. If you're truly interested, what happened was a couple of Trump supporters in Congress told him that they fully support DOGE but try to make it look legal. So Trump already has his people in charge of the various cabinet departments and, with advice from DOGE, they can shitcan anyone they want within their own departments.

I was hit by a city bus
>>1389976 Musk considers himself the real big balls in Doge and therefore has no one to throw under the bus. Musk is not a politician and just learned one of the first rules of being a politician, have someone to throw under the bus.

>>1390135 Marco Rubio was incensed. Here he was in the Cabinet Room of the White House, the secretary of state, seated beside the president and listening to a litany of attacks from the richest man in the world.
Seated diagonally opposite, across the elliptical mahogany table, Elon Musk was letting Mr. Rubio have it, accusing him of failing to slash his staff.
You have fired “nobody,” Mr. Musk told Mr. Rubio, then scornfully added that perhaps the only person he had fired was a staff member from his Department of Government Efficiency.
