WATCH LIVE COVERAGE of the meeting below, which is expected to start between 11:40 to noon ET:
Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer posted a flashback photo.
“This is President Trump’s first cabinet meeting in 2017. Staff usually attends. So when the media acts hysterically that @elonmusk is attending they are creating faux outrage- and they know it,” Spicer wrote.

Townhall’s Katie Pavlich posted a reminder: “Ahead of Trump’s first Cabinet meeting today and the “controversy” over Elon Musk participating, in September 2024 Jill Biden attended Biden’s Cabinet meeting, the first he held in a year, and ran it (for obvious reasons).”
