The Democratic Minnesota governor had a pretty clever response to news on Wednesday that Musk was exiting the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
In a simple, six-word response to an Associated Press report breaking the news, Walz hilariously said:
“finally rooting out waste and abuse.”
The former vice presidential candidate does have a point.
Musk had initially promised his department would cut $2 trillion from the $7 trillion federal budget by identifying what the White House described as “waste, fraud and abuse.”
