In his first weeks back in office, President Trump discussed his initiatives with Elon Musk during a FOX News interview on Super Bowl Sunday. He praised Musk’s involvement in a new agency aimed at cutting federal spending, while expressing confidence in his intentions. Despite a court ruling temporarily blocking Musks’ access to the Treasury, Trump stood firm on improving government efficiency. He announced plans to investigate funding discrepancies in the Education and Defense departments, claiming this could uncover significant fraud and misuse of taxpayer dollars.
"I've had a great help with Elon Musk, who's been terrific," Trump said during the interview, which was pre-taped and aired as Trump flew to New Orleans to attend the Super Bowl in person, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to do so.
"I disagree with it 100%," Trump said of the ruling. "I think it's crazy. And we have to solve the efficiency problem."
"Trust Elon?" Trump said, "Oh, he's not gaining anything. In fact, I wonder how he can devote the time to it. He's so into it."
"We're going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse," the President said. "And, you know, the people elected me on that."
