Musk Defends DOGE, Accuses Critics of Self-Interest.
Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under President Trump, has publicly defended his department’s mission and attacked its detractors. In a recent post on X, Musk accused critics, seemingly referencing Democrats, of opposing DOGE due to its intention to expose alleged misuse of taxpayer funds. Specifically, Musk alleges this misuse aims to attract and retain undocumented immigrants, purportedly with the intention of securing future Democratic votes.
Musk’s position within the Trump administration has been a point of contention, drawing criticism from Democrats and others. This latest statement further escalates the ongoing tensions surrounding Musk’s role and the policies of the administration. The DAILY POST reported on February 17th that Musk previously voiced concerns regarding his treatment on the X platform.
