Elon Musk does not regret work at DOGE, support for Trump: 'Essential' for America to 'reach greater heights'
SUMMARY
Elon Musk says he has no regrets about serving in Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), calling it “essential” to help America “reach greater heights.” In an interview with Lara Trump, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO said Trump’s victory prevented Democrats from turning the U.S. into a “one-party state.” Musk’s short but seismic tenure at DOGE led to at least $160 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse cuts in just 100 days. The backlash has been fierce — including Tesla store attacks and relentless media smear campaigns — but Musk says that only proves DOGE’s effectiveness. From slashing DEI contracts to trimming the bloated federal workforce, DOGE is becoming a pillar of Trump’s second-term agenda. As Musk steps back from government, he hopes his legacy is simple: “That I helped move civilization forward.” No apologies. No reversals. Musk’s fight for efficiency and freedom is far from over.
