Donald Trump confirms that the so-called Department of Government Efficiency run by Elon Mask has been tasked with checking out fraud at the Pentagon.

In an effort to slash government spending, President Trump has asked the world’s richest man, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, to lead his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). In turn, Musk and his team have spent the first few weeks of Trump’s second term waging a largely unchecked war on the federal bureaucracy — an onslaught that was finally challenged Thursday when a dozen states announced they would sue to block DOGE's access to government payment systems containing Americans' personal data.

As part of his cost-cutting effort, the billionaire, whose companies have enormous contracts with the military, will turn his so-called Department of Government Efficiency on the Pentagon.
