Musk gets into tense exchange with anchor on DOGE
(The Hill) Elon Musk got into a tense exchange Tuesday with CNBC anchor David Faber after he pressed the Tesla CEO on his leadership of President Trump’s cost-cutting initiatives and the efficacy of the efforts.
The nearly 30-minute interview on CNBC’s “Power Lunch” focused mostly on Musk’s outlook on Tesla and autonomous vehicles, but became tense toward the end when Faber brought up the backlash Musk faced this year for his work on Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
After answering a series of questions about how much DOGE actually cut in federal spending, Musk told Faber, “We are advisers. We are not — we’re not kings here.”
“I get it,” Faber responded, before Musk interjected, “So why are you attacking this? Given that we’ve made so much progress?”
