President Trump brought his cabinet together to tackle the country’s biggest problems. The main goal? Cutting waste and saving taxpayers money. Elon Musk, the billionaire leading the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), stood front and center. He’s on a mission to fix outdated systems and stop runaway spending.
Trump praised Musk’s work, calling him a “tremendously successful guy” who’s making sacrifices to help the nation. Musk joked he’s just “humble tech support,” but his plans are serious. He wants to slash $1 trillion from the deficit by finding $4 billion in savings every single day. Old government computers and broken software are slowing things down, he said, and DOGE is here to clean it up.
Not everyone in Washington likes Musk’s approach. Some agencies, like the FBI and Pentagon, told workers to ignore his demands. But Trump isn’t backing down. He called his cabinet “the best ever” and said they’re all “thrilled” with Musk’s efforts. The president even laughed off rumors of disagreements, daring unhappy members to speak up—but no one did.
Musk admitted mistakes happen, like accidentally cutting funds for Ebola prevention. He quickly fixed that error, proving DOGE can move fast. Trump emphasized that job cuts should be precise—a “scalpel, not a hatchet.” The focus is on trimming fat, not hurting vital services.
Meanwhile, federal workers are under pressure. Musk asked them to list their accomplishments weekly or risk getting fired. Some agencies pushed back, but Trump says this weeds out “ghost employees” who don’t exist. He praised Musk for exposing Washington’s bloat and called the media “fake news” for doubting their progress.
Democrats and critics claim DOGE is causing chaos, but conservatives see it differently. Trump’s team believes hardworking Americans deserve a government that works efficiently. With Musk leading the charge, they’re confident they can save the country from financial ruin.
The meeting ended with a clear message: Trump’s administration won’t back down. Musk vowed to post every cut online so taxpayers can track the savings. “We’re bringing receipts,” he said, stressing transparency. Trump added, “This is how we make America great again—by putting common sense first.”
