Trump Appoints Elon Musk to Head Department of Government Efficiency in Miami

Miami - US President Donald Trump announced in Miami the appointment of Elon Musk as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This statement appears to contradict a previous White House filing, which stated Musk was a senior advisor without authority over DOGE. Trump emphasized Musk's role in cost-cutting efforts, despite DOGE not being a cabinet-level department. Musk's involvement includes overseeing a government overhaul and addressing wasteful spending. Concerns about potential conflicts of interest have been raised, with the White House stating Musk will recuse himself if necessary.
