This appearance follows Musk's significant financial contributions to Trump's campaign and his increasing presence at Trump-related events, such as a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City last October. In his leadership role at DOGE, alongside entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, Musk aims to significantly reduce government expenditures.

DOGE, a non-governmental entity, is focused on streamlining government operations and eliminating waste. While the initial goal was a $2 trillion reduction in the federal budget, Musk recently suggested at the CES tech show in Las Vegas that a $1 trillion cut might be more achievable.
