Fitness legend Gillian Michaels places emphasis on the Department of Government Efficiency's waste reduction efforts, calling it “terrifying” on the list of apparent waste.
Doge under Elon Musk claims it is discovering billions of government dollars in “waste, fraud and abuse,” and is looking to continue federal audits and firing.
“If I'm going to play the Devil Advocate, the argument is, 'Hey, slow down. You should not break anything. Make sure you're very accurate with this,” Michaels said Wednesday.Jesse Watters Primetime“Explaining how masking strategies have attempted to counterargument and “maintain neutrality.”

The fitness star repeatedly said that despite her efforts, she has been found to be “terrifying” by excess government waste.
“I can imagine the average American sending their paychecks to their paychecks, of course, when they see this tax funding, they're furious,” Michaels said.

Michaels said he believes there is a lot going on in the government if the average person, including himself, doesn't understand.

“I think the email was probably interpreted as a performance review, but it was actually a pulse check review. Are there pulses?” Musk said at the cabinet meeting.
Michaels said the criticism depicted by Musk's email was “absurd” and that the business would not run effectively without accountability.

Since taking office, President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Doge Agenda have faced scrutiny from several Democrats and the media. The latest wave of criticism facing Tesla's founders was about his South African heritage.
Michaels pointed out that she was the first to feel sick for the employee she was cut, saying they were “innocent people.”
“You know, they probably have kids and they have bills that the bill should pay. You can't tear the rug from underneath,” she said before digging into the retirement packages government workers are receiving.
