Musk met Iran’s UN ambassador for talks
Will Elon Musk become the new Trump administration's Middle East envoy in addition to his role as an "austerity champion" tasked with reducing government spending? According to a newspaper report, the high-tech billionaire met Iran's UN ambassador to discuss a possible easing of relations with the USA.
According to the New York Times, the meeting took place at a secret location on Thursday. Several Iranian sources described the meeting, which lasted more than an hour, as "positive" and spoke of "good news". Neither Trump's transition team nor the Iranian UN representation in New York confirmed the information.
The news became public after Trump had nominated Republican Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary of State the previous day. Rubio is considered an advocate of a tough stance towards Iran.

This department, which is not part of the government, is to present plans to cut jobs and restructure the government apparatus in order to drastically reduce costs.
