Elon Musk and Trump Launch Efficiency Panel

Elon Musk, alongside Vivek Ramaswamy, will head a new Department of Government Efficiency, a move that has sparked mixed reactions within Donald Trump's inner circle, as some feel Musk is overstepping his role. Although Musk's presence at Mar-a-Lago and his advisory panel may give the impression of significant influence, experts argue that the panel's role is purely advisory with no real authority. In the meantime, Musk has been actively promoting his influence and contributions to Trump's campaign, which has reportedly irritated long-time members of Trump's entourage. Concurrently, the political landscape is still evolving post-election, with Republicans leading the House races while Democrats aim to secure critical wins. In a lighter note, Kimbal Musk has opened a new restaurant, The Kitchen, in Austin, Texas, emphasizing community-focused dining with a diverse menu. Overall, the political and business activities surrounding the Musk brothers illustrate their growing prominence in both spheres.
