Elon Musk declares his new title in the Trump administration

Elon Musk says that his role within Donald Trump's administration will be more like working in Information Technology rather than a glitzy White House position.

The billionaire said that the federal government's tech is so out of date and busted that he will need to focus much of his efforts on fixing IT infrastructure.

When announcing the newly formed Department of Government Efficient (DOGE) last month, Trump did not give any official title to Musk or Vivek Ramaswamy, who was tapped to co-lead the group.

But Musk said on Monday that his preferred title is 'Volunteer IT Consultant.'

A gravy train for Silicon Valley tech bros along with a huge conversion to AI.
What can possibly go wrong?

NOTHING will work by the time he's done w/ it. And he'll hire his own employees from those other enterprises he bought and destroyed (and took credit for the inventions that other people created).
