Elon Musk joined President Trump in the Oval Office Tuesday and took questions from reporters for the first time about his efforts to cut waste, fraud, and abuse from the federal government budget with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
President Trump signed the “Implementing the President’s ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ Workforce Optimization Initiative” executive order, meant to “restore accountability to the American public.”
The order also appoints “DOGE Team Leads” to create monthly hiring reports for agencies as agency heads “promptly undertake preparations to initiate large-scale reductions in force.”
Musk, wearing his signature Dark MAGA hat, was joined by his son, X.

In addition to the billions of dollars being funneled through USAID, Elon Musk revealed more bombshell discrepancies the DOGE team has discovered in their limited audit of government systems.
Early in the press conference, President Trump lambasted the “billions and billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse,” adding that this is “one of the reasons I got elected.”
He continued, “It seems hard to believe that judges want to try and stop us from looking for corruption, especially when we found hundreds of millions of dollars worth–much more than that–in just a short period of time… Maybe we have to look at the judges because I think it’s a very serious violation.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Obama-appointed Judge Paul A. Engelmayer is already facing impeachment efforts after he issued an ex parte temporary restraining order that restricted access to Treasury systems exclusively to “civil servants,” explicitly excluding “all political appointees” from accessing these systems.
