Fox News Host Slams Elon Musk With Brutal Billion Dollar Question

“So you’ve been making cuts to a lot of the agencies that have open investigations and regulatory battles with your companies,” said “The Five” host of Musk’s push to purge the federal budget of wasteful spending with his so-called Department of Government Efficiency.

She continued, “At the same time you continue to get billions in government contracts. Tesla gets billions in subsidies. How do you explain that to the American people?”

At least 11 federal agencies impacted by firings under Trump’s second term have also led investigations, have pending lawsuits against, or imposed other actions against Musk’s companies, The New York Times found in February.

Musk, in his Fox News appearance, stumbled as he seemingly dodged Tarlov’s question by turning away from his companies to focus on DOGE.

“Well, everything that DOGE does is an open book so we’re, I think, the most transparent action — most transparent organization in government ever,” he claimed.

He later added, “I am under such an extreme spotlight, so much scrutiny that it is literally impossible for me to get away with anything nefarious, obviously nor do I wish to.”

On Monday, Trump told reporters that Musk will leave the White House “at some point” to go back to his businesses.
