Billionaire businessman, Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, team will be taking a close look at Pentagon spending to search for potential waste and fraud.
United States President, Donald Trump made the remark on Friday during a press conference at the White House.
He expressed the believe that Musk and DOGE will find some things that are pretty bad in the Pentagon.
“Pentagon, the Department of Education, just everything. We’re going to go through everything.
“It was so bad with what we just went through with this horrible situation we just went through at USAID, and I guess 97 precent of the people there have been dismissed.
“It was very, very unfortunate. You are not going to find anything like that, but you’re going to find a lot. And I have instructed him [Elon Musk] to go check out Education, to check out the Pentagon, which is the military.
“And you know, sadly, you will find some things that are pretty bad,” Trump told reporters.
Trump had officially established DOGE through an executive order on January 20, the day of his inauguration, with the purpose to implement the President’s DOGE Agenda, by modernizing Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.
