Trump said he wants his Cabinet to “keep good people” as he addressed sweeping government cuts – but he also warned that “we’re going to be watching.”

President Donald Trump praised Elon Musk for opening "a lot of eyes" through DOGE's cost-cutting mission, calling the multi-billionaire entrepreneur a "real patriot" for "paying a price" to get the job done.

A majority of voters say they have negative views of Musk, and many are critical of the Department of Government Efficiency’s rapid work slashing the federal government.
