Elon Musk At MSG With Trump: ‘We Can Cut At Least $2 Trillion’ From Federal Spending

Elon Musk, speaking at President Donald Trump’s rally in New York City’s Madison Square Garden, announced that he could potentially cut $2 trillion from the federal budget. The Tesla CEO addressed the enthusiastic crowd on Sunday, outlining his vision for reducing wasteful government expenditures.

Musk’s remarks follow Trump’s plan to appoint him to lead a new government efficiency commission, which would target excessive spending. “I believe we can rip out at least $2 trillion of waste,” Musk said, criticizing the current Harris-Biden budget as overinflated and inefficient.

He explained that all government spending, whether through inflation or direct taxation, impacts Americans financially. “Your money is being wasted,” he told the audience. Musk vowed to fix this issue through the proposed Department of Government Efficiency, which he would head.

“We’re going to get the government off your back and out of your pocketbook,” Musk assured the crowd, promising that the country would see significant improvements under his plan. “America is going to reach new heights,” he added, predicting a bright future if Trump is elected.

Musk also encouraged the crowd to vote early and mobilize others to do the same. He emphasized that the upcoming election was a critical fight and urged everyone to take action.

Musk’s presence and promises at the rally underscored his commitment to slashing wasteful spending and supporting Trump’s agenda to streamline federal government operations.
