Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest individual, has been actively involved at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago transition headquarters. Reports suggest that Musk is providing advice to the president-elect on cabinet nominations and even participated in a discussion between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week.

On Tuesday night, Donald Trump revealed that he had appointed Elon Musk to collaborate with tech entrepreneur and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy in leading a new "department of government efficiency." The team will be responsible for identifying potential budget cuts in the federal government.

Musk’s political action committee contributed approximately $200 million to support Trump’s presidential campaign. He has pledged to continue funding the PAC’s efforts to promote the president-elect's agenda and assist Republican candidates in the upcoming congressional elections.

Meanwhile, the future role of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., another prominent figure, remains uncertain. Trump has stated that he plans to offer the former Democrat and vaccine skeptic—who dropped his independent presidential bid to endorse Trump—a position focused on making America "healthy" again.

In his election victory speech, Trump said, “He wants to do some things, and we’re going to let him go to it.”
