He was earlier in November appointed by Trump to lead the Department of Government Efficiency in the new US administration. Musk's colourful language and weighing in is seen as crucial since he has been an extremely close partner and confidant of Trump in the election campaign, and is also said to have an outsized influence on the Republican President-elect.
