Elon Musk and other members of DOGE emphasized Thursday that the cuts they’ve made to the federal government have actually been quite normal and a product of common-sense policies.
Amid unprecedented cuts to employees, grants, contracts and offices across federal government agencies, Musk and seven DOGE employees made the case to Fox News’ Bret Baier on Thursday that their intrusion into almost every part of the executive branch has simply paralleled procedures happening in other sectors around the country.
“We’re talking about elementary financial controls that are necessary for any company to function,” Musk said in an interview on Baier’s show, “Special Report.”
