Why is Elon Musk becoming Donald Trump's efficiency adviser?

The tech billionaire joins the incoming administration to "dismantle government bureaucracy" - but what's in it for both of them?

I've just signed this on behalf of @RoyalAlbertHall AI and creators can achieve great things together - but we do need to make sure that creative works are only used when properly licensed.

Classical music’s women problem: ‘The gender ratio is appalling’

Whichever statistic you look at, equality in the industry is still a long way off. We explore a new drive to change that
