New Trump human resources czar distances himself from Elon Musk

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The new chief of the agency spearheading efforts to slash the federal workforce said on Monday he had no personal ties to tech billionaire and former Trump advisor Elon Musk, pledging to faithfully execute President Donald Trump's agenda.

"I have zero personal relationship with Elon Musk. I have talked to Elon Musk once on the phone in my life," Scott Kupor, who was sworn in to lead the Office of Personnel Management earlier this month, told reporters.

The comments underscored lingering questions about the loyalties of Silicon Valley tech bros among Trump administration officials following a public spat between Trump and Musk that led to a deep rift between the two former allies.

Kupor said he had told Trump and other people in the White House that "my job is to do the agenda that the president lays out to the best I can."

Your job is not to do the agenda trump lays out. Your statement makes it obvious you have no heart, no soul, no integrity, no love of country and you are pretty fucking ignorant to boot. That’s how you got the job.

Your job is layed out for you and is not driven by politics. But go ahead, latch yourself to a felon.
