Fascinating interview. I put it in the consumer area because we are all tax payers and these are people trying to save us money. This interview is non-political.
Based on this interview, it seems like the mainstream media is intentionally lying and misleading people.
Watch the above interview. Some is shocking. Some is illuminating.

DOGE leader Elon Musk and members of his team talk with FOX News 'Special Report' host Bret Baier about their efforts to identity waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government. Musk is joined by DOGE members Steve Davis, Joe Gebbia, Aram Moghaddassi, Brad Smith, Anthony Armstrong, Tom Krause and Tyler Hassen.
"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," Musk said.
"This is a revolution. And I think it might be the biggest revolution in government since the original revolution. But at the end of the day, America's going to be in much better shape," he said.
"It's going to be a fantastic future."
"There are in the federal government around 4.6 million credit cards for around 2.3 to 2.4 million employees. This doesn't make sense. So one of the things all of the teams have worked on is we've worked for the agencies and said, 'Do you need all of these credit cards? Are they being used? Can you tell us physically where they are?'" Davis explained.
"Clearly there should not be more credit cards than there are people," Musk added.
"They may characterize it as shooting from the hip, but it is anything but that," Musk said. "Which is not to say that we don't make mistakes. If we were to approach this with the standard of making no mistakes at all, that would be like saying someone in baseball has got to bat a thousand. That's impossible. So when we do make mistakes, we correct them quickly and we move on."
