Trump says Musk 'not gaining anything' from DOGE
Asked if he trusts Elon Musk, President Trump said the billionaire is "not gaining anything" from his position with the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
"He's not gaining anything. In fact, I wonder how he can devote the time to it. He's so into it. But I told him to do that," Trump told Fox News' Bret Baier in an excerpt from an interview that will air Sunday afternoon ahead of the Super Bowl.
Trump told Baier the next government agency he'll have Musk investigate is the Department of Education, adding that he was elected to reduce government waste.
"Then I'm going to tell him very soon, like maybe in 24 hours, to go check the Department of Education. He's going to find the same thing. Then I'm going to go to the military. Let's check the military, we're going to find billions -- hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse. And you know the people elected me on that.”
The full interview with Fox will air Sunday afternoon.
