Billionaire Elon Musk on Wednesday attended the first cabinet meeting of US President Donald Trump for the first time of his second term, in which he was widely criticized by a widespread government cut. Musk, which leads the government’s efficiency department (DOGE), aims to reduce the cost by reducing the federal government and reduce the cost, told the cabinet that he was getting “a lot of death threats” for the work he was doing.
His comment was when Trump asked him to stand and convince how Dogo was working and how much he was biting.
“It’s an honor for you. He is a tremendous successful boy. He is really working so hard. And he has got a business to run. And in many ways, he says,” How do you do it? ” “And you know, he is praising too much and – I am telling you, but that too is getting hit.
Musk, who was wearing his normal black “Make America Great Again” baseball cap, then stood up and said that he calls himself “polite technical support”.
“Because it is really – as it seems crazy, it is almost a literal description of the work that the Dogi is doing, helping to fix the government computer system. Many of these systems are very old. They do not communicate. The system has a lot of mistakes. There are many mistakes. Software does not work. So, we are really technical support. We are ironic, but it is true,” he said.

The world’s richest person told the cabinet members at the White House that the “overall goal” with the Dogi team is to help remove the huge deficit.
“If we don’t do this, the US would be insolvency,” he said he was “taking too much flex, and was receiving a lot of death threats from the way.”
The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX said, “We just can’t reduce $ 2 trillion, as a country.”
“Dogo will make mistakes”
Elon Musk said Dogi “make mistakes” and “will not be right”. “But when we make a mistake, we will fix it very quickly.”
“Therefore, for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled, very briefly, Ebola – Ebola was prevented.
“But we need to move quickly if we have to achieve a reduction in a trillion-dollar in the financial year 2026. This requires $ 4 billion saving every day from now by the end of September. But we can do it, and we will do it,” Musk said.

Amidst American media reports, Musk’s comment was that some cabinet members had expressed disappointment over the Dogi email sent to all federal employees, asking them to justify or dismiss their jobs right.
“Is anyone unhappy with Alone? If they are we will get them out of here,” Trump asked his cabinet members to laugh and clap.
The 78 -year -old Republican said, “He has great respect for Elon. And there is some a little disagree, but I will tell you, for the most part, I think everyone is not only happy, thrilled,” said the 78 -year -old Republican.
Protests, resignation follow the musk cuts
Some federal workers have resigned and opposed Elon Musk’s actions. This week, about a third of Dogi’s technology staff said that they would not work in a way that puts the country at risk.
Before about 20 employees left Dogi, federal employees had created a website called “WeR the Builders” to share stories of impact of Dogi’s functions.
Dozens of cases have also been filed against the dangers or demands of Kasturi.
The largest federal staff union, the American Federation of Government Employment (AFGE) has also vowed to challenge the “illegal” termination, called the “musk”.
Some of the 2.3 million citizens of the country have been removed or purchased so far.
