According to the White House, the role of billionaire Elon Musk in the Trump government is that of an employee of the US Presidential Office and high-ranking advisors of the President. Musk is not an employee of the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), the authority, which is intended to develop cost savings within ministries and other federal authorities. This was explained by the White House in a court application submitted on Monday (local time). “Like other high -ranking advisors of the White House, Mr. Musk has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself,” said the application, which was signed by Joshua Fisher, the director of the administrative office of the White House. The application referred to a lawsuit that the US state of New Mexico had submitted against Musk.

The new US Minister of Energy Chris Wright has sharply criticized the goal of net greenhouse gas neutrality on Monday. “The net zero by 2050 is a dark goal. It is a terrible goal,” said Wright via video count at a conference of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) in London. Cycle hydrogen fabrics are the driving force of the world and irreplaceable for most applications. The aim of the British government after a decarbonized energy system affected the living standard of the citizens and simply shifted emissions to other parts of the world, said Wright. “This is not an energy transition, but madness.”

The former government of US President Joe Biden, in turn, exclaimed the “Net Zero” for 2050. However, his successor Donald Trump decidedly rejects this and explicitly criticized Great Britain: In January he asked before he took office that the government there should open the oil and natural gas fields in the North Sea and abolish wind farms.
