President Donald Trump held the first Cabinet meeting of his second term on Wednesday and in the room, and at times taking center stage, was Elon Musk. For little more than an hour, Trump sought to tout his administration's work so far and fielded questions on everything from the status of Musk's efforts to force federal firings to negotiations to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

President Donald Trump ‘s first White House Cabinet meeting on Wednesday saw the president and his agency leaders advance foreign and domestic issues, and it offered tech billionaire Elon Musk an opportunity to address concerns over the Department of Government Efficiency.
