During a recent news conference, President Donald Trump addressed questions regarding Elon Musk's role in the new administration. Trump referred to Musk as a patriot and emphasized his importance, stating that Musk could be considered an employee or consultant but ultimately, he is a patriot.
The president's comments came in response to inquiries seeking clarification on Musk's position within the administration. A court filing had previously indicated that Musk lacked decision-making authority as he was not an employee of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
