Trump Administration to Continue Musk's Anti-Waste Efforts

Washington, D.C. – In a press briefing on May 29, 2025, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the Trump administration's plan to continue the anti-government waste initiatives spearheaded by Elon Musk, despite Musk's departure. Leavitt confirmed that the entire cabinet is involved and will work alongside DOGE employees who have transitioned into political appointee roles. "The entire cabinet understands the need to cut government waste, fraud, and abuse," Leavitt stated, "and they'll continue to work with the respective DOGE employees who have onboarded as political appointees." This decision ensures the continuity of Musk's policies, suggesting a commitment to fiscal responsibility within the administration.
