“Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, is likely to be given office space in the West Wing, putting him close to President Trump as Mr. Musk steers a project that aims to cut as much as $2 trillion in government spending,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Musk had been expected to be situated in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which is in the White House complex but not in the West Wing proper.
But he has for many days been asking about his level of access, signaling a desire for proximity to Mr. Trump.”“Mr. Trump had wanted Mr. Musk to have the space… Mr. Musk has been given a badge for the White House complex and was said to be working there on Monday.”
