Elon Musk, who heads DOGE (the US Office of Government Efficiency), said that without cutting government spending, the US could be on the brink of collapse.
"If we don't do this, we are doomed. If we fail, ship America will sink. That's why we're doing it," Musk said in an interview with Fox News.
Immediately after US President Donald Trump took office on January 20, the country's authorities began a large-scale audit of the country's state budget spending. According to Musk, the US government expects to reduce government spending by $ 2 trillion.
