First Amendment advocates are concerned that Musk could use his sway as a Trump adviser to retaliate against a long list of enemies.

Trump made the announcement on social media, fulfilling a promise during the campaign to give Musk sweeping oversight of federal spending.

Elon Musk has been a near-constant presence at Mar-a-Lago, where he’s sat in on important meetings and calls.

Musk said Thursday that “compensation is zero” for the “revolutionaries” who will advise on cuts to the federal budget.

Musk is the CEO of SpaceX, which has $3.8 billion in contracts with federal agencies this year, according to government data.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's new commission to slash government spending began soliciting applications for staff jobs Thursday, saying it wants to hire “revolutionaries” who score highly on IQ tests.

Trump is a relatively recent convert to the potential value of SpaceX’s services, after mocking Musk’s “rocketships to nowhere” in 2022.

The idea could affect over 1 million federal workers who are eligible for remote work.

Incoming Trump administration advisers Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy on Wednesday floated ending remote work for federal workers, calling the practice a “privilege” left over from the pandemic.
