Reported by Efes News Agency on June 1, it was reported by Reuters that billionaire Elon Musk said on the 1st that the US Government Efficiency Department (DOGE), which he founded and has led until this week - this controversial federal government spending reduction agency has become a "scapegoat".
"What happened is a bit unfair because you could say that the Government Efficiency Department has become a scapegoat for all problems. So whether there are real or imagined cuts, everyone blames the department." He said in an interview with CBS.
Reportedly, in this context, the CEO of Tesla pointed out that during his 130 days leading the department, some people believed that the Government Efficiency Department would prevent them from receiving government checks.
"This is completely wrong," emphasized the world's richest man.
However, the dismantling of federal agencies by the Government Efficiency Department this year has led to the loss of many government positions, the cancellation of public projects, and a series of lawsuits.
The report mentioned that Musk resigned from his government position at an event held at the White House on May 30. US President Trump highly praised his work, and this tech tycoon said he would continue to serve as the president's advisor.
"I will continue to visit him as a friend and advisor of the president. I look forward to returning to this amazing room again," Musk said while speaking in the Oval Office. At that time, he was wearing a hat to cover the bruise on his eye corner.
In the interview, Musk said that although he agreed with most policies of the Trump administration, he also had "disagreements" with the government.
"I'm in a dilemma: I don't want to criticize the government, but I don't want to be responsible for everything the government does," Musk said. (Translated by Liu Lifu)
