Part 8/13:
Musk introduced his "Doge" government efficiency initiative—an effort to scrutinize and eliminate wasteful government spending. He emphasized transparency, advocating for public disclosure of all government expenses and the need to root out fraud and inefficiency, which siphon off taxpayer dollars.
He pointed out absurd examples of waste, like spending on unused software licenses, unnecessary political subscriptions, and the mismanagement of social programs. Musk proposed specific measures, such as mandatory payment codes and detailed explanations for expenditure, aiming to save hundreds of billions annually. His overarching goal is to make government at all levels 15% more efficient, which he claims would boost economic output and reduce inflation.
