Elon Musk joked on Tuesday in the Oval Office that the investigation that the Ministry of Government receives efficiency is when receiving a 'Daily Proctology Exam', but promised to eradicate the best paid DC bureaucrates.
Musk and his son X took over the oval on Tuesday afternoon to mark President Donald Trump who signed a Doge-Centric Executive Order.
The order, which was not immediately released by the White House, was intended to “considerably” scale the federal workforce, so that agencies do not hire more than one employee for every four employees who leave, according to Semafor.
Trump did not even bother to sign the order for reporters, so that instead Musk can hold with his toddler for more than 30 minutes, asking the President Musk to reveal some of his findings.
'We find it a bit strange that, you know, there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who apparently have a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow have become tens of millions of dollars in net, that position , “said Musk. “That's what happened in USAID. We are just curious where it came from. '
“Maybe they are very good at investing, in that case we might have to follow their investment advice,” said Musk.
Trump rubber voting what Musk was planning and told reporters: “We don't want a failed man to do this.”
“And I expect to be fully investigated and to pass a daily proctology exam, in principle,” Musk joked. “Could just as well camp.”

Elon Musk answered questions about his 'opponents' because his department of the efficiency of the government has taken care of the federal workforce in recent weeks
Musk spotted when he was asked about his 'opponents' and said that the American people voted for these cuts.
“I have opponents? I don't believe it, “the billionaire born in South Africa replied.
“Well, first of all you couldn't ask for a stronger mandate from the public,” he went on. “The Pubilc voted, a majority of the audience voted for President Trump.”
“We won the house, we won the Senate. The people voted for major government reform. There should be no doubt about it. That was on the campaign – the president spoke about that at every rally, “he continued.
“People will get what they voted for,” Musk was on. “And that is what democracy is all about.”
Doge's decision to implement USAID quickly – the American Agency for International Development – led to criticism and protests, with democratic allies in the congress next to federal employees.
There were also great concerns that Musk had access to the payment system of the Department of Treasury.
Musk admitted on Tuesday that the actions of Doge have not been perfect.

“And we move quickly, so we all make mistakes, but we will also repair the mistakes very quickly,” said the SpaceX, X and Tesla Head.
He generally justified Doge's attack on USAID.
“I think there are some valuable things, but in general, if you say, what is the true money, I would say it is not very good,” said Musk.
Immediately from the gate, the Pers Secretary of the White House Karoline Leavitt had claimed that the Doge $ 50 million dug up on the way to Gaza.
Trump added by suggesting that Hamas hunters used condoms to create 'bombs'. In the past, Hamas had used condoms, balloons and other inflatables to put fires towards Israeli agricultural land.
But on Tuesday Musk admitted that the $ 50 million condoms were an inaccurate figure for Gaza.
“First of all, some things I say will be incorrect and need to be corrected. So nobody is going to hit a thousand, “said the billionaire.
“I'm not sure if we should send $ 50 million to condoms somewhere, to be honest, I'm not sure if that is something that Americans would be really enthusiastic,” said Musk. “But you know, if it went to Mozambique instead of Gaza, I am like not that bad, but why are we doing that?”
