The President of the United States is in charge of the government. He appoints advisors, like Elon Musk and others at the White House, to execute his commands across federal agencies. Recently, Elon Musk claimed transparency at Doge, stating their actions are posted on X and their website. Regarding the termination and subsequent rescinding of 300 employees at the National Nuclear Security Administration, the Secretary of Energy would be responsible for those decisions. Under President Trump, the goal is accountability and transparency in federal spending. For example, where did the $22 billion that the Department of Health and Human Services provided to illegal aliens go? That's enough to provide a free house to every homeless veteran in America.

"The American people to believe that? Do you think they're stupid? No." "What I am doing is protecting this country, providing historic reform, combating the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of you." "And we have countless proven you to be alive in Russia Gate in January 5." "You are the biggest put on a show so you can raise money for your charade." "You are a political buffoon at best." "But all you care about is a child sex predator that was prosecuted by a prior administration, and the Obama Justice department and the Biden justice department did squat." "And what did president Trump do? Bring new charges courageously." "33,000 pages of information to you." "I challenge you to say anything credibly to the truth." "Go ahead and run to the cameras where you wanna go now."

During a press conference with Donald Trump, Elon Musk's presence and focus raised concerns. It appeared to be a PR move to counter Musk's declining popularity, while also serving Trump's image. Transparency is the key issue. Musk claims full transparency, but his actions don't align. I don't believe Musk is being transparent, especially considering his companies' contracts with government agencies. He has access to a lot of data and information, and controls contracts for Tesla, SpaceX, and others. It's about more than just contracts and money, it's about control. By controlling information, he controls the lifeblood of his companies. This information could be shared with other tech billionaires, enriching them all.

I want to talk about waste, fraud, and abuse. People like President Musk and Trump are using their public offices to enrich themselves by billions of dollars. Why is there silence about looking into the actions of the president and the richest man on Earth? I will say President Musk and Trump often use their public offices to enrich themselves. I will withdraw calling Trump "grifter-in-chief." It's despicable that this committee is silencing me for bringing up that Trump is making millions of dollars.

I have never received any money from any foreign source in my entire life. It has come to our attention that the current president has paid significantly more taxes in China, possesses a hidden bank account in China, conducts business in China, and has made claims about me accepting money. However, I want to clarify that I have never accepted any money from any country at any time.

I think Elon Musk is dedicating his time to a country he loves and that has given him opportunity. I take him at his word that he wants to be transparent. The media is looking into him every day, and I wouldn't fear any investigation. I believe they are making announcements and inviting questions, but by definition, they aren't being fully transparent because they aren't providing data. I think information is being provided, but some choose not to believe it. I think there is fraud and abuse, and that it's possible they are finding and producing information about it. If data is being found, everyone would want to know. I love the idea of data, announcements, and regular reports. Congress needs to be engaged in this as well.

**Speaker 0:** Why is Elon Musk criticized while George Soros, who influences government decisions and backs progressive prosecutors, is not? Is this hypocrisy? **Speaker 1:** Absolutely. Elon's actions are heroic. He's bringing transparency to the federal government and the "deep state." I told him that his work can restore the original intent of the Constitution. Congress has struggled to oversee the bureaucracy because it has not been provided key information. Now, Elon is revealing things we suspected but couldn't prove. This is revolutionary and will restore the government to its intended form. That's why big government advocates are afraid; it's exciting for the people. **Speaker 0:** If you love the country and the Constitution, you are supporting this effort. Thank you. **Speaker 1:** Thanks. Great to be here.

Senator Warren, why the fear of transparency regarding Elon Musk's exposure of fraudulent spending? How did you accumulate a $12 million net worth on a congressional salary of $200,000? You keep trying to block my camera; this isn't a public sidewalk. You won't answer my questions. What's the problem with transparency, and why is Doge such a problem for you? You just elbowed me—I have it on camera. Transparency is your enemy.

The media and punditry threw everything they had at me, but they didn't win. Now they want to drive a wedge between Elon and me, even suggesting I've ceded control of the presidency to him. But it's so obvious what they're doing. They're not even good at it. If they were, I never would have become president. I get 98% bad publicity, but the people are smart. They see what's happening.

The press conference with Trump and Musk seemed like a PR stunt to combat Musk's declining popularity. My Republican colleagues are shocked by how unpopular he's become among their constituents. It felt like Trump was trying to assert his authority. I'm calling for transparency from Musk, demanding he release his financial disclosures. His claim of full transparency doesn't align with efforts to keep records private. Musk has access to a lot of data through government contracts, which creates potential conflicts of interest with his companies like Tesla and SpaceX. I think he's giving a new meaning to the word corruption. While Musk is the richest man, this isn't just about money; it's about control. He can use information to enrich himself and his billionaire friends.

So, you called Elon Musk a fascist and implied he's a national security threat. But is that really more of a threat than, say, sleeping with a Chinese spy? What's fascistic about exposing government corruption? I know you just had dinner with lobbyists, and I heard you like to be with only attractive people. So, do you want to comment on any of this? You think Elon Musk is a national security threat, but you sleeping with a Chinese spy isn't? You don't want to comment on that at all? Looks like guilty is charged.

So, I went off-script a bit tonight, and some folks walked out, but let me set the record straight on a few things. The economy I inherited wasn't a disaster, despite what some might say. Social Security isn't paying out to centuries-old people, and CEOs aren't thrilled about my tariffs. Ford's CEO thinks they'll devastate the auto industry. We've committed less to Ukraine's defense than Europe has, and Biden didn't close a bunch of power plants. Oil and gas production actually hit records under him. Even Doge hasn't claimed the huge savings some attribute to them, and cutting pediatric cancer research, then praising a young cancer survivor? That's just wrong. Oh, and I admitted Elon Musk heads Doge, which might cause some legal issues down the road. Also, about those tariffs, despite my efforts, everyone knows that the costs fall on the consumers.

I welcome Elon Musk to come to the briefing room, as he provided great answers and common sense yesterday in the Oval Office regarding Doge. There's no lack of transparency; Doge has an X account, a website posting contracts and stopped payments, making our government efficient. Before, it was unnamed bureaucrats. Now, Musk is under scrutiny for his access, but we're transparent and happy to provide receipts. Here are examples: a DEI contract for US citizenship, a contract for inclusive innovation, and climate change spending in Sri Lanka. These are line items Doge identifies daily. We're providing transparency about Doge's findings, like the Federal Employee Retirement System processing in Pennsylvania. These actions are fraudulent, wasteful, and an abuse of taxpayer dollars, contrary to the President's agenda.

Let's address the Elon Musk controversy. He's not a freelancer but a government official appointed by Trump to head the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), set to last until 07/04/2026. Musk's role is to identify waste and fraud within agencies, a task he has the authority to do. The legality of executive orders is in question, with Democrats suing based on the principle that Trump isn't spending funds they approved. Ironically, executive order usage is more consistent across Republican and Democratic presidencies than commonly perceived. Trump is following Biden's precedent of not spending congressionally approved funds. Musk's controversial figure status redirects attacks away from Trump. Despite media attempts to create a divide, Trump isn't bothered, recognizing that Musk is drawing attention away from him while fulfilling his executive duties to cut wasteful spending.

I'd love to have Elon Musk come to the Briefing Room, especially after his informative visit to the Oval Office yesterday. We've been incredibly transparent about Doge's work. They're actively tweeting updates and posting contract receipts on their website, showcasing how they're making our government more efficient. Before Doge, these issues were handled by unknown bureaucrats. Now, Elon Musk, is under scrutiny for bringing these issues to light, providing needed transparency. We're happy to provide the receipts, like these DEI contracts totaling millions, including one for climate change in Sri Lanka. These are the kinds of wasteful expenditures Doge is uncovering daily. Many Americans weren't even aware of things like the federal employee retirement system being processed in a mine in Pennsylvania until Elon Musk spoke up. This is fraudulent, wasteful, and an abuse of taxpayer dollars.

Tomorrow, I will hold a news conference to reveal the names of entities receiving hundreds of millions, even billions, of dollars. If you believe these entities deserve the funding, you shouldn't be a reporter. Billions are being wasted illegally, and I believe kickbacks are involved. When someone gets millions for a mere fifteen-minute assessment, that money is coming back somehow. This corruption significantly harms our country through massive expenditures. I reviewed 200 expenditures and found only three reasonable. We'll discuss this further tomorrow. I commend Elon Musk; despite daily abuse, he has uncovered more than anyone else. His team of geniuses, starting with 12 and now almost a hundred, is helping expose massive fraud.

Donald Trump and the other defendants committed persistent and repeated fraud. This was proven in the motion for summary judgment last week. The other claims will be proven today. No one is above the law, no matter how powerful or wealthy they are. It is the speaker's responsibility and duty to enforce the law. The law is both powerful and fragile. The case will be proven in court today, and justice will prevail.

I'd love for Elon Musk to come to the briefing room; that's why we had him in the Oval Office yesterday. Trump and Musk have been incredibly transparent about what Doge is doing. They tweet daily and post receipts of reviewed contracts and stopped payments on their website. Before Musk, it was an unnamed bureaucrat. Now, as a scrutinized figure, Musk is providing access and transparency. We're happy to provide receipts, and I've brought some today: a $36,000 DEI contract for US citizenship and immigration services, a $3.4 million DEI contract for inclusive innovation, and $57,000 for climate change in Sri Lanka. These are the line items Doge is identifying daily. We're happy to show you the paperwork. Here’s a tweet about the Federal Employee Retirement System being processed in a Pennsylvania mine. We are providing transparency and accessibility daily.

I welcome Elon Musk to the briefing room, as he provided great insights in the Oval Office yesterday, speaking in layman's terms. There is no lack of transparency with Doge. Trump and Musk are transparent about Doge's work, with an active X account and website posting contract receipts and stopped payments. Before Musk, an unnamed bureaucrat handled government efficiency. Musk, now highly scrutinized, provides great access. We're happy to provide receipts and are not hiding anything. Here are screenshots of contracts Doge found, like a $36,000 DEI contract for US citizenship and immigration services, a $3,400,000 DEI contract, and $57,000 for climate change in Sri Lanka. Doge identifies these line items daily. We're transparent about Doge's work, including tweets about the Federal Employee Retirement System in Pennsylvania. We provide daily transparency and accessibility.

The speaker was asked if they would get rid of the Tesla and Starlink service at the White House. The speaker responded no, stating they may move the Tesla around a little bit, but that Starlink is a good service. When asked where they would move the Tesla, the speaker said they have a lot of locations. The speaker was then asked if they ever saw Elon Musk get physical with the treasury secretary. The speaker responded no, stating they had an argument, but didn't see any physicality. The speaker was then asked about a New York Times report alleging that Elon Musk was blurring the lines between recreational use of drugs and medicinal use towards the end of his time in the White House, and whether the speaker thought Musk ever had drugs at the White House. The speaker responded that they didn't know, and hoped not, wishing Musk well and stating they had a good relationship.

Mister President, what do you think about the Democrats' criticism of the staff reductions by Elon Musk and Doge, claiming it's an unlawful power grab? Have you restricted Musk in any way? We haven't discussed much. He has a capable team that knows what they're doing. They ask questions and can quickly identify issues. I've directed him to explore areas like education and military, where they're uncovering significant fraud and waste. I identify targets for investigation, and while there may be areas we won't touch, I believe everything is worth examining. As a government, we need to be transparent, and I'm willing to take action if necessary.

Mister President, what do you think about the Democrats' criticism regarding staff reductions by Elon Musk and Doge, claiming it's an unlawful power grab? Have you instructed Musk on what he cannot do? We haven't discussed specifics much. Musk has a capable team that knows what they're doing. They ask questions and can identify issues quickly. I've directed him to explore areas like education and military, where they've uncovered significant fraud and waste. While I may target specific areas, I believe there are many opportunities for improvement. As a government, we must remain open and transparent. If necessary, I can step in personally.

The speaker sued the Biden administration and won. According to the speaker, discovery revealed that 37 hours after Biden's inauguration, a White House group was appointed to censor the speaker and others. The speaker claims to have emails between this group and Mark Zuckerberg, as well as people at Twitter. The speaker credits Elon Musk with making these emails public and believes Musk is essential to free speech in the U.S. because he opened up Twitter. The speaker states that Musk released these documents to journalists against the advice of his attorneys.

The speaker is asked about polling data that suggests a majority of Americans, including Democrats, believe they acted illegally or unethically regarding their family's business interests. The speaker denies these allegations, stating that they did not interact with their son and brother's foreign business associates. They dismiss the claims as lies.

I'm proud to announce that Donald J. Trump is our 47th President. Today, I want to speak about Elon Musk, a man of dignity and honor who has contributed greatly to our country. The media is disgraceful, twisting narratives and spreading falsehoods. Comparing Elon Musk to Hitler is outrageous. He is being unfairly targeted, and we must stand up against this propaganda. We’ve seen how the media and the left have tried to undermine both President Trump and Elon Musk. However, Elon's goodwill towards the Jewish community and his commitment to America will prevail over this negativity. He is humble and dedicated to making our nation stronger. Elon, we appreciate you. God bless.
