(ReclaimingAmerica.net) – In a dramatic move, President Trump has ordered a “scalpel rather than the hatchet” as he has clarified Elon Musk’s role during a Cabinet meeting, ensuring America’s leaders retain their decisive power.

Critics are questioning Musk’s influence, sparking debates on appropriate government management.
President Donald Trump recently addressed uncertainties surrounding Elon Musk’s role within his administration.
During the Cabinet meeting on March 6, 2025, Trump emphasized that while Musk can provide recommendations, he cannot enact staffing or policy changes on his own.
This clarification came amid criticisms directed at Musk and his position in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Trump took measures to reaffirm the authority of his Cabinet officials, underscoring the traditional order of governance.
“You’re in charge of your departments, not Elon Musk,” Trump declared, according to Politico, establishing a clear boundary for power and decision-making within his administration.
This meeting follows widespread legal and political challenges aimed at DOGE’s workforce decisions.
With the recent court ruling to reverse numerous job terminations deemed illegal, Trump highlighted the necessity of a controlled and precise approach to staffing changes, describing it as using a “scalpel” rather than a “hatchet.”
Cabinet secretaries and agency heads, rather than Musk, will spearhead federal workforce adjustments.
This directive came after Musk acknowledged his previous oversteps and agreed to abide by the guidance, indicating potential smooth cooperation going forward.
Despite Musk’s challenges, Trump’s relationship with him remains supportive but with clearly defined limitations.
In the meeting, Trump also described the atmosphere as positive and productive, reiterating the importance of maintaining the best staff while reducing workforce levels.
Although Musk remains a figurehead for efficiency at DOGE, Trump’s latest move ensures that major decisions stay within the hands of the Senate-confirmed Cabinet members.
Legal scrutiny continues to increase as the administration works to align Musk’s role with constitutional norms.
“As the Secretaries learn about, and understand, the people working for the various Departments, they can be very precise as to who will remain, and who will go. We say the ‘scalpel’ rather than the ‘hatchet.’ The combination of them, Elon, DOGE, and other great people will be able to do things at a historic level.” – President Donald Trump stated.
For many conservatives, Trump’s actions demonstrate his commitment to maintaining a constitutionally driven administration.
The coming months will reveal whether this strategic move stabilizes the governmental framework or sparks further debates regarding Musk’s fit in Trump’s government apparatus.
