White House Advisor: Elon Musk Is Fixing Government Waste at Light Speed With DOGE

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hasset: Elon is fixing things at light speed.

“The President is 100% serious about deficit reduction. It's one reason why Elon is on the team.

We've been overwhelmed with the positive response of Elon's efforts. Elon is the hardest-working guy I've ever seen.

His office is actually over there, right next to mine or close to mine. It's impossible to be there, however late you are, without Elon working there when he's in town.

And I got to say, he's finding things that need to be fixed, and he's fixing them at light speed. There's going to be so many savings because of what DOGE is doing that you should be really, really excited about it.

Because we need to stop doing really stupid things so that when we spend our money on the good things, the things that really matter, we've got more of that, and that's why Elon is doing what he's doing.”
