Elon Musk has become a prominent supporter of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, making a public appearance at a Trump rally where he pledged to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget if Trump is re-elected. Musk's plan centers around creating a "Department of Government Efficiency" which would streamline government operations and reduce spending. While Musk has not elaborated on specific policy changes or spending cuts, he has argued that government spending constitutes taxation, and reducing government interference would benefit citizens financially. This proposal, however, has faced criticism from critics who point out potential conflicts of interest given Musk's business dealings with the federal government.
