Trump says ‘patriot’ Elon Musk has ‘opened a lot of eyes’ with DOGE

President Donald Trump praised Luna Musk for the opening of “a lot of eyes” through the DJ mission to reduce costs, describing the “real national” multi -party business programs to “pay” price to complete the task.

“This is not a good thing for him, however he does it,” Trump said in an interview “Sunday morning” in an exclusive interview that was broadcast this week. “But he opened a lot of eyes.”

Musk has stood at Dog’s head since its establishment before Trump took office on January 20. Since Trump’s second term began, the CEO of Spacex and Tesla has identified alleged alleged contracts, grants, aid and other ways to spend and have sought to eliminate the largest areas of the federal workforce to simplify the government’s function.

The movements faced great resistance from critics, and many of them are Democrats.

The protests appeared in Tesla agents, the owners of Tesla cars faced sabotage, and some demonstrators targeted electric car shipping stations due to the controversy.

Trump, at the same time, praised the musk to do, with his words, a “incredible” function to eliminate waste and improve efficiency.

“I found hundreds of billions of dollars in fake contracts, and I read a small part of them on the other night – [things like] Sexual surgery on mice … the money they spend on all these things. Everything is a fraud, and you will eventually find that the money they sent belongs to many people who concluded these deals. You will find it.

“What he also has done is to make people realize the number of people to be cut, because you usually enter, and say:“ Well, reduce 4 % of your workforce. ”He said,“ Reducing 50 %, 60 %, 70 %. ”This is a big thing.”

Trump has ordered the Cabinet Secretaries to cooperate with Dog in employment, and to give instructions to the agency that leads to the use of “scalpel” when determining workers will remain in their jobs.
