While it’s unclear whether the comment holds any official weight, it marks a serious push from Trump to highlight government waste and inefficiency as a central issue for his 2024 campaign.

Elon Musk, already known for his disruptive approach to industry and policy, has been quietly working with DOGE an agency aimed at rooting out misuse of public funds. Recently, several of Musk’s allies have taken key roles within the department, sparking rumors of a more aggressive government audit agenda.

Trump’s endorsement could give DOGE a massive boost in visibility, especially among voters tired of bloated bureaucracies and unchecked spending. Whether this leads to real policy action or just more political theater remains to be seen.

Either way, one thing’s for sure: Trump + Musk + DOGE is a headline combination that grabs attention and that might be the real goal.
