In the announcement of the interview for the CBS Sunday Morning program, published on Tuesday evening, the General Director of Tesla, who until recently managed the so -called The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said he was “disappointed Huge expenses that increase the budget deficit and undermine the work of the Doge team. “
Last week, the House of United States representatives adopted the law, paving the way to the first large legislative success of the second term of Trump. Now it will be subjected to voting in the Senate.
The president who had to force several Republican opponents in the Congress to vote for what he called “a great, beautiful act”he said that this is “probably the most important legal act that will ever be signed in the history of our country!”
However, despite the cuts of some social expenses, the law met with acute criticism from supporters of the deficit limitation. According to independent estimates in the next 10 years, it will increase the public debt of the United States by over $ 3.3 trillion. (PLN 12 trillion).
Musk, who has long claimed that the United States would go bankrupt, if the deficit was not reduced, he seemed to repeat this criticism in his comments for CBS. “I think The act can be large or can be beautiful. However, I do not know if there could be both. This is my personal opinion, “he said.

Criticizing the White House's commercial policy, he called the Tsar of Trade Peter Navarro “a moron” and “stupid bricks” and stated that in his opinion the reduction of customs duties is “generally a good idea.”
“Enough”
Musk also clashed with some secretaries of the office on personal cuts, which were made by Doge in their agencies.
Last month, Musk gave up the function in Trump's administration, deciding to spend more time to his companies, especially Tesla. The company recorded a decrease in sales, partly caused by connections with the Trump administration.
The businessman said that “he would return to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and he will sleep in conference rooms, server rooms and factories.” His companies include SpaceX and Social Service X.
Last week, Musk, which spent almost $ 300 million. (PLN 1.1 billion) for the support of Trump and other Republicans in last year's elections, said that in the future he intends to spend “much less” on the campaigns and that he “has already done enough”, donating donations for political purposes.
Musk also expressed frustration due to Doge activitieswhose purpose was to cut costs. As he suggested, the actions were difficult by the legislators.
The initiative claims that she has saved $ 175 billion so far. (PLN 655 billion), which is a much lower amount than originally forecasted by Musk $ 2 trillion. (PLN 7.5 trillion).
The investigation of the “Financial Times” showed that only a small part of the alleged $ 175 billion. Savings could be verified because Doge accounting turned out to be full of duplicates and inflated estimates.
