First signs of backlash? Trump sidelines Musk at toothless commission

As news stories centering billionaire Elon Musk as the real power behind the new Donald Trump presidency have begun to circulate, Trump announced that Musk will head a new commission with no apparent power.

Trump announced on Tuesday night that Musk and perpetual Fox News guest (and host) Vivek Ramaswamy will co-lead the “Department of Government Efficiency.” There is no such department within the U.S. federal government.
