Lindsey Granger: Huge disconnect between Trump and Musk on budget
Share this @internewscast.com


() Elon Musk is stepping down from his role in the White House after leading the Department of Government Efficiency, more commonly known as DOGE, to slash government spending.

Musk was restricted to serving 130 days in a 365-day period because of his special employment status. The deadline is set to be met Friday, May 30. According to The Hill, during his tenure with DOGE, Musk found only $175 billion in savings with the unofficial agency despite a goal of $1 trillion.

In an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning,” Musk commented on the Trump-backed “big, beautiful bill,” alleging the spending in the bill would only add to the deficit and undo any of the work the DOGE team did. Musk and President Donald Trump spoke from the Oval Office on Friday following his comments and the news of his departure.

contributor Lindsey Granger told Connell McShane on Friday’s ” Now” that Musk was likely vocal about the added spending to the deficit because he does not want his legacy in the government to be in vain.

“But financially and with fiscal responsibility, we know that may be a huge disconnect,” Granger said. “While they were sitting together and playing nicely and are obviously still going to be friends, I think maybe Elon Musk learned his lesson to be involved on a really high level as opposed to a micro level.”
