President Donald Trump has urged Elon Musk, who leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), to ramp up his efforts to identify potentially fraudulent or wasteful federal spending for cuts as part of Trump’s vision for lean government and lower deficits.
“Elon is doing a great job, but I would like to see him get more aggressive,” Trump wrote on Feb. 22 in a Truth Social post. “Remember, we have a country to save, but ultimately, to make greater than ever before. MAGA!”
