Musk DOGE has won praise from Trump! The Democrats and the media have criticized the two men repeatedly, and they warned: If there is no reform, the United States will go bankrupt.

US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk recently teamed up to promote the Government Efficiency Department (DOGE), with the goal of reducing $1 trillion in unnecessary government spending. However, this reform has faced fierce criticism from the Democratic Party and the mainstream media, who even accused Musk of "unconstitutional interference." Musk brushed it off, saying: "If they oppose it so much, it means we're doing the right thing." Trump emphasized: "We are just letting the will of the people return to the government, and the current bureaucratic system is the biggest problem." In addition, Musk has recently been actively involved in astronaut rescue, disaster area communication support, AI research and development, and other fields. Trump even praised: "I've searched the whole world, and I can't find anyone smarter than him!"

Musk DOGE not paid, ensure executive orders are implemented

The two were interviewed by foreign media on 2/18, during which Musk stated that he did not receive a salary for his involvement in DOGE. Many technical team members, who could have earned millions of dollars in the private sector, have now chosen to join the government reform effort with low salaries.

He emphasized that government executive orders are often obstructed by the bureaucratic system, preventing policies from being truly implemented. For example, Trump had previously ordered the cessation of subsidies for illegal immigrants to stay in luxury hotels, but the government continued to pay these expenses until recently. "Our job is to ensure that these orders are actually executed," Musk believes that the government should reflect the will of the people, rather than letting the bureaucracy decide whether to implement the policies.

The focus is on their cooperation, the media tries to sow discord

Musk has recently publicly expressed his support for Trump's re-election bid, which has led many media outlets to start extensively hyping up the relationship between the two, even trying to create conflicts. Trump laughed and said: "The media often say that Trump is handing over presidential powers to Musk. These tactics are really clumsy, they want to sow discord between us, but they haven't succeeded at all." Musk also confirmed that he personally called Trump to remind him of this, and Trump's response was: "Of course, I already knew that." Trump added: "If the media were really good, I wouldn't have been able to become president in the first place."

The US spends money to subsidize transgender operas, African ESG investments, Trump bitterly criticizes the waste

In the interview, Trump and Musk listed some of the US government's outrageous spending, including:

🔹 $20 million: Producing a "Sesame Street" program in Iraq.

🔹 $56 million: Helping Tunisia and Egypt develop tourism.

🔹 $40 million: Building schools in Jordan.

🔹 $11 million: Telling Vietnamese people "not to burn trash".

🔹 $45 million: Providing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) scholarships in Myanmar.

🔹 $520 million: Investing in African environmental, social, and governance (ESG) projects.

🔹 Millions: Funding transgender musicals in Ireland and transgender operas in Colombia.

Musk was surprised, saying: "This money is not even spent in the US, but scattered around the world, and on these meaningless projects." Trump angrily criticized: "This money should be used to improve schools, public safety, and infrastructure in the US, not wasted on these useless things!"

Musk warns the US of bankruptcy, aims to reduce $1 trillion

Musk emphasized that the US fiscal deficit has reached $37 trillion, and the budget deficit alone for 2024 will be $2 trillion. If not controlled, the country will eventually go bankrupt. "Just like individuals, if you spend more than you earn, you will eventually go bankrupt." He said the key problem with US finances is "incompetence" and "indifference", with many government agencies being indifferent to the budget, leading to a large amount of funds being wasted.

Trump added: "When we took over, the US finances were already a mess. The previous administration just spent $9 trillion, all on the so-called Green New Deal and wokeness." Implying the Biden (Joe Biden) administration's incompetence.

Musk's space rescue, actively participating in humanitarian assistance

In addition to the DOGE affair, Musk has recently been actively involved in a space rescue mission. The astronauts, who were originally scheduled to stay for 8 days, have been stranded in outer space for nearly 300 days, and are highly likely to be delayed in returning to Earth due to political factors. Musk said: "We are accelerating the rescue plan and hope to bring them back within four weeks." Trump then hinted: "If it were the Biden administration, they might not even care about them."

This is not the first time Musk has demonstrated his influence in humanitarian assistance. In the past, he has provided Starlink satellite communication equipment in California wildfires, ensuring that disaster victims can communicate with the outside world.

Trump says he can't find anyone smarter than Musk in the world

In an interview, Trump praised Musk: "I've met a lot of business geniuses, but Musk is not only smart, he really cares about this country." He said that Musk not only successfully founded Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink, but is also willing to invest time in reforming the government. "I've searched the world, and I can't find anyone smarter than him," Trump said with a laugh. Musk responded: "We're not here to play politics, we're here to solve problems."

As DOGE continues to expose the government's financial waste, whether the US fiscal situation will improve in the future has become a focus of attention. As for the strong alliance between Trump and Musk in business and politics, whether they can truly change America remains to be seen.
