Elon Musk Admits He Failed to Cut $2 Trillion in Federal ****, But Says at Least He Enjoyed His Trump Sleepovers With Ice Cream

Failson

Elon Musk failed miserably at his goal to cut $2 trillion in federal spending — but he did shout out his sleepovers with Donald Trump during his time at the White House.

In his first (and presumably last) time meeting press in the West Wing, Musk told reporters from

, and a handful of other outlets that his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has cut about $160 billion in federal spending.

That might sound like an impressive figure, at least until you remember that Musk promised to

than it did during the same ******* last year.

“In the grand scheme of things, I think we’ve been effective,” the South African-born billionaire said of his DOGE tenure, which is ending imminently because his

is about to expire. “Not as effective as I like… but we’ve made progress.”

During that same press gaggle, Musk boasted that his DOGE cuts have thus far resulted in one percent of the federal workforce, or about 20,000 people, having their jobs slashed. He added that he and his minions have “probably” gotten the job done right about “70-80 percent of the time.”

We All Scream

The wide-ranging interview wasn’t all about dollars and cents.

that he and his staff often sleep in the DOGE’s Capitol Hill offices — Musk dished that the president had invited him to stay in the White House on more than one occasion.

This situation arose, per the billionaire’s retelling, when Trump asked Musk where he was staying one night.

“I was like: ”I don’t know. At a friend’s house, I guess,'” the world’s sometimes-richest man told reporters. “And then he was like: ‘Why don’t you stay here?’ I was like: ‘Sure.'”

While Musk refused to say exactly how many nights he slept over in the

, he admitted that it was “more than once” — and that on one such occasion, the president urged him to sample the kitchen’s ice cream selection.

“He’ll actually call me late night and say, ‘by the way, make sure you get ice cream from the kitchen,'” the 53-year-old recounted,

. “I ate a whole tub of ice cream — caramel Häagen-Dazs.”

“Yeah, it’s epic,” Musk said. “Don’t tell RFK.”
