The President-elect made the controversial X and Tesla boss leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, which will slash budgets.
Trump also appointed other figures to key posts without any relevant experience, including former Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defence.

He also voted against certifying Trump's 2020 election loss.
