Musk's involvement in Doge, which he referred to as "his baby," was aimed at achieving $1 trillion in budget cuts. Trump praised the initiative for leading to a reformation of government operations, demonstrating a commitment to cutting waste and detecting fraud, allegedly saving taxpayers $175 billion by May 29. However, questions remain regarding the actual itemization of these savings.
During the press conference, Trump defended his controversial legislative agenda, which includes significant tax cuts and increased defense funding, despite Musk expressing disappointment over its impact on Doge’s mission. The discussion took a more personal turn when Musk was asked about rumors of his drug use and a bruise on his face, humorously attributing the latter to play with his son. As Musk leaves, he insists that Doge will persist in its mission to find budget reductions, keeping the government's fiscal health at the forefront.
