Donald Trump seems to have arranged a power struggle and has told his cabinet that they have the power to make a cut to the government and not 'first buddy' Elon Musk and Doge.
It dives off a cheeky few weeks for Musk, even though it has been stripped and welcomed at Trump's address at the congress and in CPAC, where he promised to “take a chainsaw to bureaucracy.”
Various department heads told their employees to ignore Musk's 'What Did You Do For Wek -e -Mail', Tesla -Shares have fallen by 45% since December and on Thursday spirits his SpaceX Starship Rocket out of control and exploded in space, filling flights and air traffic schaos.
Now it seems that Musk has suffered a blow, because Trump told his cabinet members during a spontaneous meeting that they are those with the power to dismiss their employees.
The president made something about the role of billionaire Elon Musk very clear – he is not responsible for hiring and shooting.
It has liberal experts who wonder whether this is the end for the most famous bromance in America.
On CNN, Anker John King said that Trump was told by department heads that Musk took them out.
'[Trump]Hearing some of his own cabinet secretaries – that 'he enters my department and messing around with my company – and it causes me problems' … so the president hears it, “King claimed.

Democrats in the Huis Oversight Committee introduce a few resolutions that require the Trump government to transfer documents and information about the potential conflicts of interest of the billionaire adviser and the dismissals of federal employees
Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was founded by Trump to investigate government agencies on wasteful expenditure and abuse of taxpayers.
But Doge is only intended to make recommendations to Trump's cabinet officials to perform in themselves in their respective departments.
“Doge has been an incredible success, and now that we have my cabinet in place, I have instructed the secretaries and leadership to work with Doge on cost -saving measures and staff,” Trump wrote to Truth Social.
When asked if Elon Musk had moved too quickly with Doge, Trump said he didn't think so. Musk teaches everyone how to save costs, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office after the meeting.
“I want the figures, but I also want to keep the good people,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
On Thursday, the president abruptly gathered his cabinet in the midst of increasing control over how many power points are about the US government.
It seems that Trump has told his top leaders that they should be more selective if they continue to perform their staff. Instead of following an 'ax' approach to cut the fat, Trump wants his secretaries to use a 'scalpel' for 'surgical' precision about whom they reject.

“Like the secretaries learn about and understand, the people who work for the different departments, they can be very accurate about who will stay and who will go,” Trump wrote on his social media platform. 'We say the' scalpel 'instead of the' ax '.
“The combination of them, Elon, Doge and other great people will be able to do things at a historical level.”
Trump's message to his department heads was his first remarkable effort to control Musk, which has exercised an unprecedented authority in implementing mass dismissals, canceling billions of dollars in contracts and programs and gaining access to sensitive computer systems.
Thursday's meeting was a sharp departure in Toon van Trump's first full cabinet meeting last week, when he allowed Musk to deliver a monologue about Doge at the start of the meeting and later asked: “Is there anyone unhappy with Elon?” to spread laughter.
During the joint session from Trump to the congress on Tuesday evening, he referred to Musk as the 'Head of Doge', despite the White House that the Tesla and SpaceX boss is not the official leader of the group.
The Trump government said in a court in February that Musk has no authority about Doge, despite the fact that the president repeatedly claims that the 'first buddy' of the billionaire is in charge of the massive cost-saving program.
After that application, the White House was peppered with questions about who really managed the initiative that billions in contracts, thousands of jobs has lowered and even stripped almost entire government agencies such as USAID.
The White House revealed last month that Amy Gleason is the woman who acted as DOGE manager.

The 53-year-old is a less well-known former health care technology consultant who worked from 2018-2021 as an official at the US Digital Service (USDS), which was founded under President Barack Obama to modernize the infrastructure of government technology.
USDS was renamed after Trump had taken on the US Doge service in January in January and now works to radically reduce the federal government.
Musk has repeatedly called himself the 'technical support' for Trump's government.
Musk, who has given President Trump great space to defeat government spending with Doge, has called for eliminating entire agencies.
“I think we should remove entire agencies instead of leaving many of them,” Musk said via a video ball to the World Government Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. “If we don't remove the roots from the weed, it's easy for the weed to grow back.”
Two weeks ago the White House and Doge commissioned the FBI to dismiss almost all probationary employees who had not yet received protection from officials.
Moreover, employees were warned with some agencies that large cuts would be in the workplace, in movements that could influence 200,000 employees.
Judge William Alsup, 79, ordered the Personnel Management office to inform certain federal agencies that it had no authority to recommend the fire of probation employees, including the Ministry of Defense.

Trump has also been strongly critical of federal employees, especially those who want to continue to work remotely, although his administration works at the same time to reduce the federal office space and terminate the termination of the rents in the government.
The 'first buddy' suggests privatization for both Amtrak and the Postal Service of the United States, which confirmed that the American post service was the following in the chopping block of the Trump administration.
Musk has previously told that he proposes that DOGE can save around $ 1 trillion in the federal government this year.
The efforts of Doge, which has cut more than 100,000 employees from the 2.3 million-strong federal workforce, has created uncertainty and fear among employees.
In some cases, the government has affected critical employees in areas such as nuclear arms protection and research into bird flu.
More than 30 lawsuits have been brought by trade unions and other interest groups that challenge the actions of Doge.
There have been isolated signs of tension between Musk and Trump's cabinet secretaries, especially when the SpaceX CEO unexpectedly sent an e -mail to all federal employees who demanded that they offer a list of their performance for the week.
The failure to answer, said Musk on X, would be considered a dismissal.
Reuters reported last week that the top white of the White House had difficulty conquering disputes in the administration after the Ultimatum of Musk.
The e -mail caused mass confusion, in which some departments instructed employees to respond and others who told employees that the question was optional.
