Last week you may have seen the press conference Elon Musk held in the White House next to the U.S. President Donald Trump, and also his son, X.If you were wondering what that was all about, you’ve come to the right place.It’s been nearly one month since Trump was inaugurated and Elon Musk commenced his official role as part of the Trump administration. We now know a little more about what Musk’s new government advisory body, the Department of Government Efficiency, will look like. So we thought it would be the perfect time to explain Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration.
