US President Donald Trump praised Elon Musk on Friday (local time), which was done to do a “spectacular job” as the head of Dogge (government’s efficiency department) and assured that the department installed by Kasturi to cut unnecessary funds and promote the US economy, would be functional.
Trump said that while addressing the press at the Oval office with Elon Musk on his last day, Trump said. “Elon has worked tirelessly to help lead the most broad and resulting government reforms in generations.”
Trump also assured that many of Dogi’s employees were staying behind and suggested that Kasturi would remain integral to the project.
“Many people are staying behind, so they are not leaving, Elon is not really going. He is going to be forward and back. I want to thank Elon for coming as a special government employee for his time and help us.”
The President also listed contracts that were abolished after Dogi’s recommendations to help promote the economy.
“We have abolished many contracts and many contracts are being seen and it can be some six months or perhaps one year or some cases. We are undergoing processes, we are undergoing courts and we will miss you (Elon Musk).
DOGE canceled 101 million USDs for the DEI contracts in the Education Department. 59 million USD for an illegal foreign hotel room in New York City. USD 45 million for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarship in Burma. 42 million US dollars for social and practical changes in Uganda, 40 million US dollars to improve social and economic inclusion of migrants. 8 million USD for transgender of mice, ”Trump said.
Tesla’s CEO Musk again confirmed that this is just the beginning of Dogi, and that the department’s influence would only be stronger over time.
“This is not the end of Dogi, but is actually the beginning. My time as a special government employee was really to end. It was a limited time. Dogge will only be stronger over time. The Dogge effect will become stronger.
Musk said that he intends to advise the President, even he stops his time in administration.
In response to a question from a reporter, Musk said, “Whenever the President wants to give advice, I hope to continue the advice.”
“I hope,” said Trump.
“I hope to remain a friend and a consultant and of course, if there is anything that the President wants to do, I am in the service of the President,” said Musk.
Musk on Thursday announced his decision to step down as a ‘special government employee’.
In a post on X, he wrote, “As my scheduled time ends as a special government employee, I would like to thank President Donald Trump for the opportunity to reduce the useless expenses. The Dogo Mission will only be strong with time as it becomes a way of life in the entire government.”
Earlier, Musk has criticized Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’, he said “I was disappointed to see the bill spent on a large scale, clearly, which increases the lack of budget, not reduces it, and reduces the work that Daege is doing.”
“I think a bill may be big or it may be beautiful, but I don’t know if it can be both,” he said. (AI)
