Elon Musk Supports Trump’s Power to Fire Executive Officials, Backing Mike Lee’s Suggestion

Elon Musk has backed the idea that President-elect Donald Trump should have the authority to fire any official in the executive branch, excluding the vice president.

This notion was voiced by Utah Senator Mike Lee, who believes the president should be able to remove any employee at any time for any reason.

The discussion arose amidst reports of Trump's plans to make unconventional personnel changes, including firing officials with fixed terms like the FBI Director and IRS Commissioner, positions that traditionally remain unchanged during transitions.

Experts note that while uncommon, the president holds the legal power to make such changes.

BREAKING: Trump REACTS to Senate Passing His ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ | VP Vance Casts Tiebreaker Vote

While in Florida, former President Trump celebrated Senate passage of his “One Big, Beautiful Bill” after Vice President J.D. Vance cast the tie-breaking vote.

President Trump will attend the opening of a controversial migrant detention center deep in the Florida Everglades, nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz” for its remote, wildlife-infested location. Built rapidly using Governor DeSantis' emergency powers, the facility can hold up to 5,000 migrants and is located on the grounds of a long-abandoned 1960s jetport.

''They Should Be Prosecuted…'': Trump BIG Allegation Against Democrats For ‘Leaking’ Iran's Plan

U.S. President Donald Trump has accused Democrats of leaking classified intel about U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, branding it a “perfect flight” betrayal. He demanded prosecution, despite the FBI finding no direct evidence implicating any political party. The leak revealed that Iran’s nuclear capacity was only delayed by months, contradicting Trump’s claims of a full strike success. While Trump lashes out, the White House urges caution, and intelligence agencies brace for more fallout. Lawmakers are set for briefings, as political tensions rise over national security leaks. #Trump #IranStrike #IranNuclear #IntelligenceLeak #TrumpVsDemocrats #FBIInvestigation #USPolitics #TruthSocial #MiddleEast #Khamenei #USIranTensions #Pentagon #IranDeal #LeakedIntel #TrumpNews #NuclearSiteStrike #Espionage #ForeignPolicy #ClassifiedDocuments #DIA Also Read Mystery Shrouds Over Supreme Leader Khamenei’s Whereabouts As Iran Faces Military Crisis :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mystery-shrouds-over-supreme-leader-khamenei-s-whereabouts-as-iran-faces-military-crisis-7783667.html?ref=DMDesc Iranian Citizens Contemplate Future After 12-Day War and US-Brokered Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/12-day-war-ceasefire-iran-future-concerns-011-7783479.html?ref=DMDesc US Strikes Set Back Iran Nuclear Program by Few Months: Early Intelligence Report :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-strikes-set-back-iran-nuclear-program-by-few-months-early-intelligence-report-7782349.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~
