Speaking at President Donald Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden, New York City, Tesla CEO Elon Musk declared that he could eliminate trillions of dollars in waste from the federal budget. Musk, appearing on stage Sunday, announced his commitment to heading a new government efficiency initiative if Trump wins the election.
Musk estimated that at least $2 trillion could be cut from the current budget. “Your money is being misused,” he said, adding that government spending, whether through direct taxation or inflation, burdens Americans. “We’re going to fix that with the Department of Government Efficiency,” Musk assured.
Trump’s proposal to appoint Musk as the head of this new commission aligns with their shared goal of streamlining government operations. Musk emphasized that his reforms would lift financial pressures off the American people. “We’re going to get the government off your back and out of your pocketbook,” he stated.
Musk painted an optimistic picture of America’s future under these reforms. “This country will reach heights it’s never seen before,” he promised, rallying the audience to support his vision of a more efficient government.
He urged the crowd to take the election seriously, stressing the importance of voting early and bringing friends and family to the polls. “This is a real battle,” Musk said, calling on everyone to take action in the final days before the election.
Musk’s speech at Madison Square Garden reinforced his stance on reducing government waste and his readiness to lead efforts in reshaping federal spending policies.
