WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said billionaire Elon Musk, who the president had charged with shrinking the U.S. government, is only doing things that have approval.

Trump, speaking to reporters at the White House, also said Musk will not be allowed to go places where there is a conflict.
