He described the $2 trillion target as “the best-case outcome.”In an interview on X, Musk stated that halving the federal budget deficit to $1 trillion would still be an “epic outcome,” citing potential economic growth and inflation control as benefits. Musk emphasized waste in government spending but offered no specifics. DOGE, co-led by entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, lacks direct authority but aims to recommend budget and regulatory reforms to the White House. Critics question the feasibility of Musk’s $2 trillion target, but the initiative has gained bipartisan support.
