That's what Elon Musk writes on his own platform X, with reference to the president's decision-making authority.

Musk leads Donald Trump's White House initiative Doge (Department of government efficiency), whose task is to streamline government agencies and make savings. He had originally given government employees until the end of Monday, local time, to report in an email what they had done at work in recent days.

The deadline came and went with great confusion since several American federal authorities urged their staff to ignore the email, at least temporarily.

When the new deadline expires is unclear.
