Musk. « I look forward to coming back »
Billionaire Elon Musk assured on Friday that he would continue to be a ‘friend and counselor’ of US President Donald Trump, in a statement given to the press in the Oval Office, where the two appeared together at the end of the official activity of Tesla and Spacex in the US Executive, AFP and Reuters reports.
The US president welcomed the mission to reduce the public spending by Elon Musk, stressing that he has brought a ‘colossal change’ in the activity of the US administration. Trump at the same time condemned ‘scandalous attacks, slanders and lies’ against his collaborator in the 130 days as a member of the Executive.
‘I will continue to visit him and I will remain the president’s friend and counselor. I look forward to returning to this incredible room, « Musk said in the Oval Office.
He counted among Trump’s main donors in last year’s election campaign and became one of the main advisers of the new American president, who entrusted the leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), a new institution created by the Republican President to reduce the expenses of the US administration.
Musk has now assured that the activity of this department will continue and even intensifies, after he had savings of about $ 160 billion for the US budget, estimating that this amount will soon reach $ 200 billion.
