Musk Proposes $2 Trillion Budget Cuts at Rally

Elon Musk has proposed cutting $2 trillion from the U.S. federal budget, targeting what he describes as wasteful spending, during a rally for Donald Trump at Madison Square Garden. Musk's plan involves the establishment of a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to audit and reform government expenditures. This initiative is part of Trump's campaign promise to reduce federal debt and streamline government operations if re-elected. Musk's claims have drawn criticism due to potential conflicts of interest, given his companies' substantial federal contracts. While he did not specify which programs would be cut, Musk emphasized that all government spending amounts to taxation and highlighted the need for fiscal reforms. The rally was marked by Musk's endorsement of Trump and encouragement for early voting among attendees.
