Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk and seven members of the team shed light on the department’s cost-cutting mission in an exclusive sit-down interview with “Special Report” Thursday.
“We want to reduce spending by eliminating waste and fraud and reduce the spending by 15%, which seems really quite achievable,” Musk told “Special Report” executive editor Bret Baier.
“The government is not efficient, and there’s a lot of waste and fraud. So we feel confident that a 15% reduction can be done without affecting any of the critical government services.”Musk, along with DOGE members Steve Davis, Joe Gebbia, Aram Moghaddassi, Brad Smith, Anthony Armstrong, Tom Krause and Tyler Hassen, added a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the department’s work from the Internal Revenue Source to the Interior Department to Social Security.
“This is a revolution. And I think it might be the biggest revolution in government since the original revolution. But at the end of the day, America’s going to be in much better shape,” he said.
“It’s going to be a fantastic future.”
The top DOGE official also argued that when critics “attack DOGE, they never attack any of the specifics.”
“They’ll say what we’re doing is somehow unconstitutional or illegal or whatever. We’re like, ‘well, which line of the cost savings do you disagree with?’ And they can’t point to any.”
