Ankara: US President Donald Trump on Saturday urged Elon Musk to be 'more aggressive' in his efforts, likely referencing Musk's role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aimed at reducing federal spending. 'ELON IS DOING A GREAT JOB, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM GET MORE AGGRESSIVE,' Trump posted on Truth Social. He suggested the US needs to be saved and added the ultimate goal is to "MAKE (it) GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE."

According to Anadolu Agency, Musk, a billionaire and Trump supporter, has been a key figure in the administration's push to streamline government operations. His involvement in DOGE is seen as a significant move in the effort to cut unnecessary expenses and improve efficiency across federal departments. The initiative was launched with the intent to identify and eliminate waste, thereby saving taxpayer dollars and improving governmental functions.

Trump's comments on Musk's performance reflect the administration's broader strategy to leverage private sector expertise to optimize public services. Musk's leadership in this domain aligns with his previous ventures, where innovation and efficiency have been pivotal. As the administration continues its pursuit of government reform, the collaboration with influential figures like Musk underscores the importance placed on restructuring federal operations for enhanced effectiveness.
