Donald Trump’s bold gamble: Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency
Among the most talked-about revelations was Donald Trump’s defense of his decision to appoint tech mogul Elon Musk to lead the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk, already heading companies like SpaceX and Tesla, was given sweeping access to federal departments — a move that alarmed privacy watchdogs and triggered lawsuits.“I’ve had a great help with Elon Musk, who’s been terrific,” Trump stated during the interview. He also dismissed a federal judge’s ruling to block Musk’s access to the Treasury Department, saying, “I disagree with it 100%. I think it’s crazy. And we have to solve the efficiency problem.”Musk’s team has already slashed funding to USAID, and there were plans to shut it down completely before a court intervened. Trump remained unbothered: “We’re going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse. And, you know, the people elected me on that.”
