Elon Musk Has A ‘Special’ New Job Title

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the tech billionaire’s official title to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Monday.

“A special government employee is anyone who works, or is expected to work, for the government for 130 days or less in a 365-day period.”

“Special government employees are subject to most rules, although sometimes in a less restrictive way.”

Musk is “not a volunteer but also not a full-time federal employee,” CNN explained his position on Monday.

The richest person in the world spent more than $290 million backing President Donald Trump and Republicans in the 2024 elections. He is now running the non-official Department of Government Efficiency, which is looking to significantly slash public spending.
