Elon Musk, the founder of the Department of Government Efficiency, received a shoutout from President Donald Trump during his address to a congressional joint period.
Musk was present in the House chamber’s customer museum for the address. He is the leader of Trump’s efforts to stop spend and fraud in the federal government. Democrats have booed the DOGE nose, but Trump’s applause from the compartment drowned out the boos as he was pointed out during the speech.
ELON MUSK REQUIRED FOR FILMING AFTER THE TRUMP ADDRESS
” Thank you, Elon. He’s working very hard. He lacked the need for this. He lacked the need for this. Thank you very much. Trump praised the tycoon SpaceX and Tesla CEO,” we appreciate it.”
” Everyone around, even this part, appreciates that, in my opinion. Trump continued, referring to the Democrats in the House room,” They just don’t want to say that.”
Trump then cited a number of examples of government spending that he described as useless, including$ 40 million to “improve the social and economic addition of sedentary workers” and”$ 8 million to make animals trans.”
Musk has been hailed as the de facto head of DOGE, but he also serves as Trump’s White House assistant. Acting superintendent of DOGE is Amy Gleason.
AL GREEN REMOVED FROM HOUSE CHAMBER AFTER PROTESTING TRUMP ADDRESS
Democrats ‘ loud protests against the president broke out early in the address, which sparked a turbulent start. Rep. Al Green (D-TX ) yelled at Trump before Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA ) issued a warning to the chamber and a removal order after Green refused to stop.
Trump’s primary address to a joint session of Congress since his first-term in office’s 2020 State of the Union address. Although not referred to as a State of the Union, Tuesday’s statement is comparable to the annual address.
