Musk, a staunch Trump supporter, made the remarks during an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s online show broadcast from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate on Tuesday, the day of the election.
Despite initially proclaiming political neutrality, Musk officially endorsed Trump after the first assassination attempt in July and has since become a major supporter of the former president. Trump promised the Tesla CEO that he would establish a special “government efficiency” commission, dubbed the DOGE, to be headed by the billionaire if he wins the election.
Speaking with Carlson, the tech billionaire said that he would like to help Trump create a more efficient government.
“I’d be happy to help improve government efficiency,” Musk said. “We’ve got a gigantic government bureaucracy, we’ve got overregulation, we’ve got agencies that have overlapping responsibilities… this translates into real costs to people, they’re hidden costs but they are very substantial.”
