President-elect Donald Trump joked about Elon Musk's presence in his inner circle during a meeting with House Republican leaders in Washington.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has been a significant figure in Trump's transition process and received standing ovations at a GOP conference.

Trump announced that Musk would co-lead a 'Department of Government Efficiency' alongside Vivek Ramaswamy, which is an advisory agency.

Musk has been staying at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate and has been involved in meetings with foreign leaders.

There is speculation about Musk's influence and role in Trump's transition, with some questioning the extent of his involvement.
