Elon Musk now says he’s on track to do something Washington hasn’t managed in decades — cut a trillion dollars from the federal deficit. And not over ten years with smoke-and-mirror budgeting tricks. No, Musk says he’ll do it by June.
During a candid sit-down with Fox News’ Bret Baier, Musk pulled back the curtain on the work he and his team are doing through DOGE — the Department of Government Efficiency. And before you ask, no, it’s not a meme. It’s a real Trump administration initiative led by a guy who actually understands things like balance sheets and overhead, which already puts him miles ahead of 90% of D.C.
“Our goal is to reduce the spending by eliminating waste and fraud, reduce the spending by 15%, which seems really quite achievable,” Musk explained. Fifteen percent might sound modest, until you realize that’s $1 trillion in waste and fraud being sucked out of the system like stale air from a swampy bureaucratic balloon.
And here’s the kicker: Musk says they can do it without cutting any core government services. That’s right — no gutting of Social Security, no shutdown of the military, and definitely no touching your grandma’s Medicare. Just axing the nonsense — the bloated contracts, the shell companies, the make-work diversity consultants, and all the backroom deals that pass for “governing” in the swamp.

Baier pressed Musk on the timeline. After all, Musk is officially on a 130-day clock as a “special government employee.” So is he sticking around? Elon’s answer was pure confidence: “I think we will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars within that time frame.”
Let that sink in. Career politicians have spent decades wringing their hands over the debt, running up deficits, and blaming the other party. Elon Musk walks in, checks under the hood, and says, “Yeah, we can fix this in about four months.”
Maybe that’s why Democrats and their media lapdogs are so hysterical about Musk lately. He’s not just tweeting about efficiency — he’s proving it. He’s making the bureaucrats look like amateurs, and worst of all, he’s doing it while helping President Trump. Now that’s the kind of “public service” D.C. actually fears.
