Elon Musk, DOGE team offer unprecedented peek behind the curtain of Trump's cost-cutting department

Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk and seven members of the team shed light on the department's cost-cutting mission in an exclusive sit-down interview with "Special Report" Thursday.

"We want to reduce spending by eliminating waste and fraud and reduce the spending by 15%, which seems really quite achievable," Musk told "Special Report" executive editor Bret Baier.

"The government is not efficient, and there's a lot of waste and fraud. So we feel confident that a 15% reduction can be done without affecting any of the critical government services."

Highly recommend spending the 38 minutes to watch this interview.

Fascinating and infuriating all at the same time.

He mentions the submarine thing in the Fox interview......that’s the infuriating part.

Pam Bondi...”U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a stern warning”. She can’t just keep saying it and not do it. I would imagine that a continued gathering of evidence and targeting the true criminals takes time.

One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. This team is a real dream team who want to save this country from bankruptcy.

When will people figure out that democrats lie to them?

They could have built one—as a token if nothing else.

All these revelations of fraud and abuse...and STILL no individual named who has enriched him/herself from all this?

The money did NOT evaporate!

It’s odd because the Navy took possession of a sub in the Iowa and Idaho in 2024?

Just saw Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino and they said there will be a second show tonight on Bret Baier with Musk...Last nights was really good - shouldn’t be missed.

DOGE has put the spot light on a lot of corruption only the guilty and pals are complaining about it.

Thumbs up for Trump and Elon Musk

Agree, it's worth a replay on FOX, perhaps more. If 60 minutes was a real program, this would have been a interview they should have done.

100% agree, it needs to be replayed, over and over.

If Trump really wanted to be “authoritarian” for a day, he’d demand ABC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC/NBC/NPR show this video at 8pm, 9pm, and 10pm for 7 nites a week, as a public service.

Good interview, for sure! I don’t remember ever seeing a more impressive group assembled. If the lefties can’t avoid covering it, it will become a troop of Trump’s lily white men of the oligarchy.

But even that may encourage more people to see it, and many will just have to be impressed.
