Elon Musk Appears Publicly with Seven DOGE Team Members for the First Time: Plans to Cut $1 Trillion in Spending by End of May

On Thursday, March 28 local time, during an exclusive interview on Fox News, Musk made his inaugural public appearance along with seven DOGE team members. Musk asserted that the reform of DOGE is bringing about a transformation in the way the U.S. government functions, deeming it "the most significant revolution since the American Revolutionary War." Musk demonstrated confidence in achieving a reduction of $1 trillion in government spending by the conclusion of May. This implies that starting from January 20 when Trump assumed office, DOGE will attain this level of cost savings within 130 days. In response to external critiques, Musk retorted that DOGE's approach to cutting is "to think carefully before taking action": "This does not imply that we will not make errors. If we adhere to a standard of not making any mistakes in handling this matter, it is analogous to stating that a baseball player must hit the ball every time. That is unattainable. Hence, when we do make a mistake, we will promptly rectify it and continue moving forward." (Wall Street See)
