Phil Mickelson Praises Elon Musk's Fiscal Impact on America

Phil Mickelson has expressed his gratitude towards Elon Musk for his role in promoting fiscal responsibility in the U.S., particularly through his leadership at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). In a social media post, Mickelson emphasized that Americans owe Musk a 'huge debt of gratitude' for his efforts to eliminate government waste, which Musk claims are saving over $4 billion daily. Mickelson likened Musk's contributions to those of Nikola Tesla, suggesting that both figures deserve greater recognition for their impact. Musk responded to Mickelson’s praise with a simple 'thank you'. However, the golfer's remarks have sparked mixed reactions online, with some criticizing his views, particularly regarding Musk's government role. Notably, DOGE has reportedly deactivated over 200,000 unused credit cards linked to federal agencies as part of its cost-cutting measures.
