Elon Musk, the world's richest man and current head of the Department of Government Efficiency, engaged in a question-and-answer session in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump. Musk defended his extensive business dealings with the government, stating that they do not pose conflicts of interest in his role.
Both Musk and Trump emphasized their shared goal of downsizing and reshaping the federal government, citing a mandate from American voters for reform. Trump's dismissal of government watchdogs at various agencies has raised concerns about oversight.
