Washington – The billionaire Elon Musk said on Friday that he would continue to advise President Donald Trump, even though he writes back from his official role as a special employee of the government employees.
During a far-reaching press conference from Oval Office, Musk-with an injured right eye, which he has held responsible for a blow, which he invited from one of his sons, 5-year-old X, expects the US düdel service to continue to try to shorten at least $ 1 trillion and to establish the target date in the middle of the next year.
“This is not the end of Doge, but really the beginning,” said Musk. “My time as a special government employee absolutely had to end – it was a limited time, it is 134 days, I think that ends in a few days. So it comes with a time limit. But the Doge team becomes stronger over time. The influence of Dog is only stronger.”
Musk then compared his initiative with Buddhism, A religion that is practiced by hundreds of millions of peopleWith the statement of Doge -Jobs, it was “like a unit of life” that he hoped that it would penetrate throughout the federal government.
The previous efforts of Doge have led to spending cuts of around 160 billion US dollars, said Musk. This is a petite fraction of the 6.8 trillion dollars The federal government pretended During the last financial year and shortly before the goal he set before the administration.
Musk said that Doge “relentlessly persecuted”, at least 1 trillion US dollar for spending cuts for the American taxpayer, shortly after he had pointed out a golden eagle to the ceiling of the oval office that Trump was earlier.
“Nobody ever really saw it. They didn’t know that the eagle was up there and we emphasized it,” said Trump. “Essentially it is a landmark, a great landmark, and that’s 24-carat gold. And everyone loved it. Now they see it all when they come in. So it was good.”
Musk welcomed Trump because he had ensured that the Oval Office “finally has the majesty who deserves it”. None of the man said how much was turned to redesign the eagle.
Musk plans to re -report his professional efforts to his companies, including Tesla and SpaceX.

Trump said he hopes that Musk will continue to advise him on state issues, although he will no longer be employed by the White House.
The Republican legislature, said Trump, “are completely obliged to make the Doge cuts permanently and to stop much more in the coming months”.
“We want to end our great, large, beautiful bill and finished,” said Trump and moved into The house went At the beginning of this month. “We have put some of them in the bill, but most of it will come later. We will have it from the congress (codified) that is confirmed by the congress. In some cases we will make cuts, in some cases we will simply use it in a different level to save money. But there are hundreds of billions of dollars.”

Trump wants larger tax cuts from the Senate
Said Trump during The press conference He hopes that the US Senate will fine the “large, beautiful draft law” by reducing more government spending without determining which programs.
This package would reduce about 1.5 trillion dollars of federal financing for several programs in the next decade, including Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The impartial budget office of the congress is expected to publish its complete analysis of the package next week, including the way in which Changes shortly before the invoice to the ground will affect state budgets and the access of people to security network programs.
Trump also asked the senators to further reduce taxes in the package.
“It is an incredible bill … you know, you know, it’s a big cut,” said Trump. “But there are things that I would like to see to perhaps reduce a little more. I would like to see a larger tax. It will be the greatest tax acceptance or cut in the history of our country. I would see that it picks up an even lower number. I shot after a slightly lower number. I would have loved to do that.”
Trump seemed to renew his call after the congress, to completely eliminate the debt limit, although control and the expenditure cut would raise this upper limit by 4 trillion dollars.
“I agree with Elizabeth Warren. I think we should get rid of it,” said Trump, referring to the democratic senator from Massachusetts. “It’s too catastrophic.”
