US President Donald Trump said Friday he had asked his “efficiency czar” Elon Musk to review spending in the sprawling US Department of Defense, which has a proposed budget for 2025 of $850 billion.

Asked if defense was on Musk’s agenda for cuts, Trump told reporters at the White House: “I’ve instructed him to go check out education, to check out the Pentagon, which is the military. And you know, sadly, you’ll find some things that are pretty bad.”
