President Trump suggested in a new post that one of his closest allies, high-tech billionaire Elon Musk, should be “more offensive.” Government efficiency (DOGE).
“Eron does a great job, but I want to see him become more aggressive,” Trump said. I wrote it on Saturday In a post about the True Society. “Remember, we have a country to save, but in the end we have a country to make it bigger than ever before. Maga!”
Millionaire Replying to Trump's subsequent posts On Social Platform X: “Become President.”
Musk and Doge staff, who lead six major companies, have chased several federal agencies considering overhauling the federal workforce over the past month. The committee said earlier this week it saved the government $55 billion by canceling grants, selling assets, cutting teams, x contracts and leases.
The Trump administration has provided shopping to many civil servants. So far, more than 75,000 government officials have accepted the offer.
Doge has been attacked by Democrats and various organizations for taking office during his first month of president. Critics urged the advisory board to bring more transparency into their actions.
The group is facing lawsuits, with 14 states saying the board cuts are unconstitutional, while other states questioning the committee's access to the Treasury's payment system, and since then It's blocked.
Musk's influence on the regime is also under the microscope, with many citing his potential conflict of interest.
Trump has consistently defended Musk, and he recently called him a “patriot.”
“I'm just listening to it. If there's one… obviously there's no conflict of interest. He's done a great job,” he said earlier this week. “I told Elon any conflict you have nothing to do with it. So perhaps anything that even space has anything to do with it, I won't let Elon join it.”
The President and the White House also suggest that masks are not actually part of the doge. Instead, he is considered a senior adviser to Trump and an employee of the “White House Office.”
Tesla and SpaceX CEOs “have no real or formal authority to make government decisions themselves,” wrote office director Joshua Fisher.
Musk defended Kuzi's work at a briefing with Trump earlier this month, emphasizing that voters “voting for a massive government reform and that's what people are trying to get.”
Trump praised the tech entrepreneurs for doing “very good work” in early February, predicting Doge's aides would discover more fraud and waste within the government.
“He has a great staff member, and he's been wanting to do this for a long time,” the president said. “I think we're very close to balancing our budget for the first time in years.”
