Elon Musk and DOGE Aides Try a Charm Offensive in Fox News Interview
Briefly

In a Fox News interview, Elon Musk presented himself and his team at the Department of Government Efficiency as dedicated to improving America's fiscal health. Musk stated that they aim to reduce the deficit by $1 trillion while cutting government spending significantly. Critics have raised concerns about potential cuts to essential services, especially as federal judges have intervened in their plans to reduce federal employment. The interview appears to be part of Musk's strategy to reshape public perception amid criticism of his government's downsizing efforts.
At the end of the day, America is going to be in much better shape, Mr. Musk said. America will be solvent. The critical programs that people depend upon will work, and it's going to be a fantastic future.
But we have a real fiscal crisis, and this is not sustainable. And what's worse, back to my children and everyone else's children, we are burdening them with that debt.
