SpaceX CEO Elon Musk

Washington, DC [US]: American tech billionaire Elon Musk is serving under US President Donald Trump's administration as a special government employee, CNN reported, citing a White House official.

That designation implies that Musk, who has been in Trump administration, is not a volunteer but also not a full-time federal employee. A special government is "anyone who works, or is expected to work, for the government for 130 days or less in a 365-day period," as per the US Department of Justice (DOJ) summary.
