Elon Musk stirred headlines again—this time at a White House cabinet meeting under President Donald Trump. Now serving as the “special government employee” and head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk’s presence has earned him the insider nickname **“First Buddy.”**
Photos from the meeting showed Musk holding a notepad labeled **“Top Secret”** in dramatic lettering, sparking instant speculation online. While every official had a formal nameplate with a title, Musk’s simply said **“Elon Musk”**—a subtle flex that didn’t go unnoticed.
Some viewed it as trolling genius. Others called it inappropriate for a cabinet meeting. Either way, Musk once again dominated the news cycle. Whether it’s serious strategy or just savvy showmanship, Elon Musk clearly knows how to own the spotlight.
