President Donald Trump convened his Cabinet on Thursday to lay out how his administration will be handling cost-cutting measures and staffing moving forward after mounting criticism over Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency.

U.S. President Donald Trump told his cabinet members on Thursday that they - not Elon Musk - have the final say on staffing and policy at their agencies, according to a source familiar with the matter.

President Donald Trump said he directed cabinet secretaries to use a “scalpel” rather than a “hatchet” to make personnel cuts, a directive aiming to quell blowback after waves of job cuts have roiled the federal workforce.
