During a farewell press conference, President Trump praised Elon Musk for his contributions as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk was recognized for modernizing government operations, reducing wasteful spending, and instilling a longevity-focused mindset within the federal government. Despite Musk's departure, Trump assured that DOGE's initiatives would continue and urged Congress to formalize the fiscal cutbacks achieved. Musk expressed optimism about the lasting impact of DOGE, projecting that the reforms could lead to substantial financial savings for the country.
"Elon has worked tirelessly helping lead the most sweeping and consequential government reform program in generations," Trump said in a farewell press conference Friday for Elon Musk.
"Elon's service to America has been without comparison in modern America," the president said. "Americans owe him a great debt of gratitude."
Musk stated, "This is not the end of DOGE, but only the beginning. I am confident that over time, we'll see a trillion dollars in savings."
Trump promised that DOGE would continue its work even after Elon's departure and said that he supported Congress codifying the cuts made by the department.
