Elon Musk Proposes $2 Trillion Federal Budget Cut at Trump Rally

Musk suggests forming a 'Department of Government Efficiency' to identify and eliminate wasteful spending if Trump wins the presidency.

Elon Musk, speaking at a Trump rally, claimed he could cut $2 trillion from the federal budget, a move that represents nearly a third of current spending.
Musk's proposed cuts would focus on reducing wasteful government spending, potentially sparing programs like Social Security and Medicare.
The idea includes creating a 'Department of Government Efficiency' to conduct a comprehensive audit of federal spending, with Musk as a potential leader.
Critics highlight potential conflicts of interest, given Musk's companies, Tesla and SpaceX, benefit from significant federal contracts.
Musk's involvement in Trump's campaign includes substantial financial contributions and public endorsements, positioning him as a key ally.
