"I applaud David's noble efforts it's good to have talented people in the administration, Musk said. But at the end of the day, if you look at our national debt, which is insanely high the interest payments exceed the Defense Department sorry, I guess, War Department's budget. And they keep rising. So if AI and robots do not solve our national debt, we're toast."
"Musk, during a video appearance at the All-In Summit on Tuesday night, said he has not been back to Washington, D.C. since May, when Trump presented him with a gold key to the White House on the day he exited DOGE. Things went sideways soon after, with Musk ripping the president on X, his social media platform, and accusing Trump of covering up the Epstein files because he was named in them."
"Musk's concern over government spending was a chief reason he spearheaded DOGE in the first place. He said his goal was to cut $1 trillion from the annual budget which is about 15% of what the government spent in 2024 but when he left DOGE at the end of May, Musk estimated $175 billion had been sliced. The $342 billion man did not seem to regret his stint within the Trump administration, though, joking that it was a hell of a side quest."
Elon Musk has not returned to Washington, D.C. since May after receiving a gold key to the White House upon exiting the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk publicly criticized President Trump on X and accused him of covering up the Epstein files. Musk described the government as basically unfixable and highlighted the national debt and rising interest payments, noting interest now exceed the Defense Department budget. Musk praised David Sacks's role in the administration but warned that AI and robots must address fiscal imbalance or the country faces severe consequences. Musk sought $1 trillion in annual cuts but estimated $175 billion was cut before his departure, and he characterized the role as a memorable side quest.
