Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed strong support for Elon Musk's vision regarding government efficiency, emphasizing a mutual commitment to eliminating waste. During a Bloomberg interview, he highlighted the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as a transformative initiative that could yield substantial savings for taxpayers. Since its inception by President Trump, DOGE has focused on deregulation and spending cuts, resulting in significant hiring freezes and contract cancellations. Despite opposition and legal challenges from unions concerned over access to sensitive data, Bessent defended that DOGE staff only have 'read-only' permissions related to financial systems.
Elon and I are completely aligned in terms of cutting waste and increasing accountability and transparency for the American people.
I believe that this DOGE program in my adult life is one of the most important audits of government, changes to the government structure we have seen.
Since President Donald Trump created the Department of Government Efficiency... his administration has taken swift actions to roll back regulations and cut spending.
DOGE staff had 'read-only' access to the Treasury's payment systems.
