President-elect Donald Trump addressed a fired-up crowd in Phoenix, Arizona, tackling the latest controversy surrounding Elon Musk. Critics have accused Trump of giving the billionaire undue influence in Washington after Musk helped defeat a bipartisan government funding deal. Trump clarified Musk’s role, saying the tech magnate will not hold any official government position but is instead tasked with leading a budget-cutting initiative. Trump also ruled out Elon Musk as a future President because Musk is not a natural-born US citizen.
