Elon Musk called the Department of Government Efficiency’s actions a revolution, according to Axios. Musk said they’ve reshaped the U.S. government by slashing staff, canceling contracts, and closing agencies. Musk holds “special government employee” status and said the group aims to cut $1 trillion from the deficit. Musk claimed Social Security is rife with fraud, citing inflated call center scam rates and 15 million supposed beneficiaries over age 120. Social Security's acting commissioner downplayed fraud claims, saying it was 1% of payouts.
