THE Donald Trump He asked US services Tuesday to work closely with his adviser Masculine in order to decrease The number of federal employeeswhile the richest man in the world warned that the US is heading for “bankruptcy” if they do not proceed with spending cuts.

With his 4 -year -old son on his side or on his shoulders, Musk was standing next to Trump at the Oval Office, while the US president signed the decree calling for federal services to work closely with him.

Musk, who was wearing a hat with Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again”, received questions from reporters and defended his role as an un -elected official, who has been given unprecedented power by the US president.

“We have a 2 trillion deficit. Dollars and, if we do not do anything for this deficit, the country is heading for bankruptcy, “said Tesla and SpaceX chief.

The Republican president has appointed Musk, head of the Doge Service, with the aim of reducing federal government spending. The MSK team has already gained access to the ministry’s sensitive payment system before blocking it.

“There are people working in federal bureaucracy” but this should not be “autonomous”, it should “be accountable to citizens,” the richest man in the world estimated.

Musk also rejected the accusations that he and his team are acting in secrecy. Doge has not announced who is working there, nor the actions it takes inside the federal services. It announces only numbers for the cuts in which it intends to proceed with specific services, without giving many clarifications.

“I absolutely expect to be under the microscope (…) It’s not that I want to escape something,” Musk replied

Democrats also denounce the actions of Musk, which they consider illegal because he has not been elected and has not been assigned to him, while referring to the “aggressive acquisition” of the government.

“I could not have asked for a clearer command than what I got (…) from the citizens,” Musk said, referring to Trump’s election. “Citizens have voted in favor of major reforms in the government. There should be no doubt about it. “

Musk also emphasized that he was talking almost daily to the US president.

After demanding the freezing of billions of dollars, the Trump government called for the public sector to be suspended and enabled federal employees to resign by receiving compensation.

The decree signed yesterday by Trump states that federal services should hire a man for every four who leave- with the exception of classes related to class maintenance, public security and treatment of irregular migration- in order to reduce the number of federal employees.

Along with this decree, Doge is given a right veto to new recruitment, stressing that each recruitment should be done in cooperation with this service.
