“We have very smart people going in, so I've instructed him go into education, go into military, go into other things as we go along, and they're finding massive amounts of fraud, abuse, waste, all of these things,” he said.
President Donald Trump on Friday said he’s letting the Elon Musk-helmed Department of Government Efficiency dig into the budgets of the Pentagon and the federal Department of Education to find wasteful spending in need of cutting.
Trump says Musk will be targeting military and education next: ‘Everything’s fertile’ Conservatives have long targeted the Department of Education for elimination.
We're going to be looking at tremendous amounts of money ... being spent on things that bear no relationship to anything and have no value,” Trump said.
Less than a month into Trump’s second term, his alliance with Musk has resulted in the total collapse of America’s soft power apparatus with the attempted elimination of the U.S. Agency for International Development over the last week.
