Trump taps Musk to tackle defense, education department waste
U.S. President Donald Trump updated the first weeks of his term during his appearance at the Super Bowl in New Orleans. He also announced his plans for the upcoming weeks, stating he will commission Elon Musk to analyze the Departments of Defense and Education.
In an interview with Fox News at the Super Bowl, Trump expressed his surprise at being the first sitting president to attend this popular sporting event. The president highlighted the importance of reducing federal expenditures and praised Elon Musk's involvement in the administration's efforts.
"We will find hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud and abuse," Trump emphasized, as quoted by the Polish Press Agency, referring to the planned analysis of the Departments of Education and Defense.
Elon Musk, in his role as head of the Department of State Efficiency, aims to improve the functioning of the administration by identifying irregularities. The president noted that he expects the continuation of changes introduced since his return to the White House three weeks ago. During the ceremony before the game began, Trump honored first responders and the families of the victims of the January terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
