US President Donald Trump said Billionaire Ilon Musk, who heads the government's efficiency department, is not needed at the White House. However, the head of state acknowledged that Musk was a successful and talented personality.
The American leader said this when communicating with journalists on April 10, commenting on his attitude to the owner of Tesla and SpaceX.
"I do not need Ilon, just like it. But I will say, this guy did a fantastic job," Trump said.
Tesla - not as preferences, but as proof
The President also told about his purchase of Tesla car, noting that he had purchased him not for the benefits or discounts, but on the contrary - to refute rumors that he allegedly enjoyed privileges as a friend of the mask.
"I don't need his car. I actually bought one because they said: Oh, you buy at a discount. No, I said give me the highest price. I paid big money for this car," Trump added.
Despite the praise of Tesla, Trump confessed that he did not use the electric vehicle himself. Instead, he provides a car to use the White House Workers:
"You know what I do with her? I give people in the office to ride it."
