Musk may get office space in Eisenhower building: NYT

Tech billionaire Elon Musk is expected to get an office space in the building adjacent to the White House, as he prepares to take the helm of President-elect Trump’s newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), according to a New York Times report on Monday.

The office space would be in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the Times reported, citing two people briefed on the plans.

Musk, a close Trump ally, spent a considerable amount of influence and capital trying to get Trump elected in November. According to campaign filings, Musk spent at least $250 million throughout the campaign cycle.

Shortly after the election, Trump tapped Musk, along with his former 2024 GOP primary rival, Vivek Ramaswamy, to lead DOGE, an advisory board focused on cutting government spending.

It was not immediately clear whether Ramaswamy would also have space in the Eisenhower building, according to the Times.

The Times reported that Musk has had discussions with transition officials about the level of access he will get to the White House once Trump returns to the Oval Office. The paper of record noted that those discussions were left unclear.

The Hill reached out to Trump’s transition team for comment.
