Elon Musk defended the DOGE initiative aimed at cutting federal programs and employees, stating that his efforts align with public demand for reform. In the Oval Office, he emphasized that he and Trump communicate daily on these issues, asserting the DOGE's transparency amidst criticism. Despite a federal injunction challenging the legitimacy of the DOGE department, Musk believes in abiding by legal scrutiny, viewing himself as a responsible figure in government efficiency efforts while navigating conflicts of interest and judicial oversight.
Musk claimed that he and Trump spoke daily and frequently discussed what needed to be done and where he should concentrate his efforts within the government.
The people voted for major government reform. And that's what people are going to get.
There should be no doubt about that, Musk said. The DOGE department, which he heads, has been "maximally transparent" in the efforts.
I fully expect to be scrutinised and get, you know, a daily proctologist exam," Musk told reporters.
