President Donald Trump held the first Cabinet meeting of his second term on Wednesday and in the room, and at times taking center stage, was Elon Musk. For little more than an hour, Trump sought to tout his administration's work so far and fielded questions on everything from the status of Musk's efforts to force federal firings to negotiations to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Elon Musk joined President Trump's first Cabinet meeting of his second administration. Meanwhile, the president also announced that he will host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday to secure a deal for some of Ukraine's valuable rare minerals.

If anyone was still in doubt where the power lies in President Donald Trump’s new administration, Wednesday’s first Cabinet meeting made clear it wasn’t in the actual Cabinet.
