Elon Musk, who, as a special government employee, leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative to identify and eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in federal spending, said on Monday that DOGE employees receive death threats daily.

Musk made the remarks during a March 24 White House cabinet meeting, which began with Trump administration officials praising him for identifying the wasteful spending they say has been found at their respective agencies and ended with Musk revealing the pressures faced by DOGE.
