Washington:
Elon Musk said on Thursday that his job as the main cost-collect for the Trump administration would produce $ 150 billion in savings, a significant drawback from earlier estimates that reached $ 2 trillion.
Musk told US President Donald Trump at a White House Cabinet meeting, “I am excited to declare that we estimate a decrease in waste and a decrease of $ 150 billion in the financial year 2026.”
Musk, the world’s richest person, said the cut “would actually be the result of better services for American people.”
Tesla Tycoon, who is Trump’s advisor to rapidly reduce federal expenses, recently claimed that his government’s efficiency would be a trillion dollar.
Musk’s role in the White House, which is slapped to end next month, faces criticism as his companies have American government contracts.
The Dogi Reform Team has triggers the alarm by gaining access to sensitive data through the American Treasury along with critics.
At the cabinet meeting, Trump said Musk’s Dogi’s teams were “luxurious” and urged them to stay in place for “long races” to do more cost-cutting.
