US President Donald Trump said Elon Musk will help uncover “hundreds of billions” in fraud within federal agencies. Speaking to Fox News, Trump stated that Musk, leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), will investigate wasteful spending, starting with the Department of Education and the military. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz suggested Pentagon shipbuilding could also be scrutinized. Meanwhile, a judge blocked Musk’s move to furlough 2,000 USAID employees, and over 40 lawsuits challenge Trump’s policies. The White House dismissed the lawsuits as political resistance, affirming its commitment to cost-cutting reforms.
