Musk calls avoiding waste 'consistent with Congress'

EPA-EFE/SAMUEL CORUM

Elon Musk stated during an interview on Fox that his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) "tries to keep Congress as informed as possible."

"The law does say that money needs to be spent correctly. It should not be spent fraudulently or wastefully. It's not contrary to Congress to avoid waste and fraud, it is consistent with the law and consistent with Congress," Musk said, adding that they've "seen actually great support, at least from the Republican side of the house," though he said that "occasionally some Democrats offer support too."

Additionally, Musk said that when people attacked his department, "they don't attack any of the specifics." He said they "say that what we're doing is somehow unconstitutional or illegal or whatever," but he said they couldn't point to "which line of the cost savings" they disagree with.
