US President Donald Trump has praised the tech billionaire’s work for Trump in a joint interview with Elon Musk.
In the interview, the two spent much time praising each other and dismissing concerns that Trump is overstepping his authority.
Billionaire Musk expressed his support for the Republicans after the attack on Trump in July 2024 and spent a lot of money on his election campaign. After Trump’s election victory, Musk was appointed as head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which aims to eradicate “waste, fraud, and abuse” in federal spending.
Trump has signed dozens of decrees in the past three weeks, many of which have been challenged in court as unconstitutional. In the interview, Trump stressed that his policies, including massive cuts to federal agencies, must be implemented without delay and said Musk played a key role in making that happen.
The interview aired hours after Trump signed an executive order that sought to expand and consolidate the White House’s direct control over federal regulators.
