Elon Musk has proposed cutting $2 trillion from the U.S. federal budget if Donald Trump wins the presidential election, suggesting this could be achieved by reducing what he views as wasteful spending. Musk's plan, criticized for its lack of specifics, faces skepticism from experts who doubt the political feasibility of such cuts, given the complexities of federal spending. Despite these concerns, former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has expressed support for Musk's proposal, suggesting it should be taken seriously in the context of oversized state spending in Western democracies. Critics point out a potential conflict of interest, as Musk's companies have benefited significantly from federal contracts. Musk's comments have drawn considerable attention and controversy, highlighting his influence as a prominent supporter of Trump's campaign. The proposal underscores ongoing debates about government efficiency and fiscal responsibility, especially amid rising national debt.
