美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)周四上午召开了一次内阁级会议，告诉这些机构的负责人，他们负责他们监督的机构和部门，而不是埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)，多个知情人士告诉美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)。
消息人士称，当特朗普告诉高级官员，马斯克的作用是提出建议，而不是单方面决定时，马斯克就在会议室里-无论是关于人事决定还是政策问题。
马斯克在X上发帖会议“非常有成效”
这次会议召开之际，他自己的内阁秘书私下里对马斯克和他一直给予的授权表示失望，这些授权在联邦工作人员中造成了巨大的混乱。
尽管不是内阁成员，马斯克在政府中有着巨大的影响力，因为他监督政府效率部的工作，以减少政府的规模和范围。麝香参加了特朗普的首次内阁会议-有时占据中心舞台。
马斯克上个月在X上发帖称，所有联邦雇员都将收到一封电子邮件，要求提供他们过去一周的工作细节，这一举动让特朗普政府的一些人措手不及，并造成了广泛的混乱。消息人士告诉ABC新闻。这在特朗普内阁成员中造成了紧张局势，因为多个机构负责人告诉他们的员工在他们自己听取情况介绍之前不要回答。
通过DOGE，马斯克监督了数千名联邦政府雇员的裁员。最近，总督声称政府总共节省了1050亿美元尽管这个数字还无法证实。
特朗普在签署了一项协议后，于周四下午讨论了内阁会议暂停对加拿大和墨西哥征收关税的行政命令。他说，这是一次聚焦于“削减”的“非常好的会议”
他说，他指示他的内阁成员“先走”，看看他们可以在自己的机构中裁员，但“留下优秀的人”
特朗普说:“留下所有你想要的人，所有你需要的人，如果他们在那里呆两年而不是两周会更好，因为两年后他们会更了解这些人。”“但我希望他们尽最大努力做到最好。当我们有好人的时候...这很珍贵，也很重要。我们希望他们留住优秀的人才。”
然而，他说他警告内阁成员，如果他们不进行必要的削减以减少联邦政府的“膨胀”，马斯克和多吉将接管。
特朗普说:“我们将关注他们，埃隆和他们的团队，我们将关注他们。”。“如果他们能切割，那就更好了。如果他们不切，埃隆就会切。”
Trump tells Cabinet members that they're in charge, not Musk: Sources
President Donald Trump convened a Cabinet-level meeting Thursday morning to tell the heads of the agencies that they are in charge of the agencies and departments they oversee -- not Elon Musk, multiple sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
Musk was in the room for the meeting when Trump told top officials that Musk's role is to make recommendations and not unilateral decisions -- whether it be about staffing decisions or policy matters, the sources said.
Musk posted on Xthat the meeting was "very productive."
The meeting comes as his own Cabinet secretaries have privately expressed frustration about Musk and the mandates he has been giving that have caused mass confusion among the federal workforce.
Despite not being a member of the Cabinet, Musk has outsized influence in the administration as he oversees the Department of Government Efficiency's work to reduce the size and scope of the government. Muskattended Trump's first Cabinet meeting-- at times taking center stage.
Musk ruffled feathers when he posted on X last month that all federal employees would receive an email demanding details of their work from the past week -- a move that caught some in the Trump administration off guard and caused widespread confusion,sources told ABC News. It created tension among members of Trump's Cabinet, as multiple agency heads told their employees to hold off on replying until they themselves were briefed on the situation.
Through DOGE, Musk has overseen cuts of thousands of federal government employees. Recently,DOGE claimed a total government savings of $105 billion-- though the figure remains unverifiable.
Trump discussed the Cabinet meeting Thursday afternoon after he signed anexecutive order that paused tariffs on Canada and Mexico. He said it was a "really good meeting" that focused on "cutting."
He said he instructed his Cabinet members to "go first" and look at the people they can cut in their own agencies, but "keep the good people."
"Keep all the people you want, everybody that you need, and it would be better if they were there for two years instead of two weeks, because in two years they'll know the people better," Trump said. "But I want them to do the best job they can. When we have good people ... that's precious, that's very important. And we want them to keep the good people."
However, he said he warned the Cabinet members that if they didn't make necessary cuts to reduce "bloat" in the federal government, Musk and DOGE would take over.
"We're going to be watching them, and Elon and the group, we're going to be watching them," Trump said. "And if they can cut, it's better. And if they don't cut, then Elon will do the cutting."
