Elon Musk's team is currently scrutinizing federal departments for ways to eliminate wasteful spending. He is known for announcing  drastic reductions to USAID's funding.

USAID underwent severe job cuts with 97% of roles getting cut recently. Other departments, like Education and Defense, are next on the chopping block.

Musk is busy performing intensive study involving teams of people, each with a specific focus inside. The group searches for waste in spending patterns.

This group seems to have a goal of identifying all possible places where spending is either corrupt or ridiculous, which Musk calls a "fraud. "

Musk's team is not alone, Trump is passionate about the project himself. Trump believes other departments may harbor similar issues and insists that he will explore them with enthusiasm and audacity.

Musk consistently publishes his findings on X, a platform he owns, revealing irregularities and inefficiencies.

Ever since he took office, Trump has been demanding that social security funds remain untouched. However, he has made it clear that any illegal immigrants found receiving benefits will face cut offs.

Critics blasted trump and Musk's spending cuts, especially in the Education Department. Outside of the Education Department office, people gathered in protest, speaking against the cuts.

Many officials are worried about the approach, labeling it as ineffective and short sighted
