Elon Musk joins US President Donald Trump's first White House cabinet meeting | BBC News

Members of Donald Trump's cabinet have met for the first time at the White House and they were joined by the US president's billionaire adviser Elon Musk.

The group took questions from reporters and Musk was asked about an email he recently sent to federal government workers asking them to detail a list of things they have recently done in their job.

He said anyone who does not respond "is presumed dead" or is "a fraudster".

Musk also acknowledged that his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) will make mistakes, referencing what he said was a brief cancellation of Ebola prevention aid.
