President Donald Trump said on Sunday that Elon Musk will help uncover “hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud” in federal agencies.

Trump claimed that the American people want him to find “waste”, and hence, Musk, who heads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), will help him in achieving that goal of finding “billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse”.

“I’m going to tell him very soon, like maybe in 24 hours, to go check the Department of Education. … Then I’m going to go, go to the military. Let’s check the military,” Trump told Fox News in an interview ahead of the Super Bowl.
