In a historic moment, President-elect Donald Trump met with outgoing President Joe Biden at the White House to begin the transition of power. The meeting was notably cordial, with Biden congratulating Trump on his victory. Trump was joined by prominent figures including Elon Musk, now tapped for the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency.
The transition marks a significant shift in American politics. Trump, whose campaign focused on “Making America Strong Again,” emphasised his vision for revitalising government operations. Musk, alongside entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, is expected to lead efforts in streamlining bureaucracy and fostering innovation.
Analysts are closely watching the dynamics of the transition, which symbolises the broader ideological divide in the country. The collaboration between Trump and Musk is seen as an attempt to bridge gaps and introduce tech-driven solutions in governance.
