President Donald Trump on Monday doubled down on his plans to have the Department of Government Efficiency look into his former right-hand man, Elon Musk, saying the Tesla CEO’s brainchild may just be the “monster” that “eats” its creator.
He made the comments just before departing Washington for a visit to a new south Florida immigration detention center, which Trump has nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz.”
Upon landing in the Sunshine State, Trump reitered his apparent intention to have DOGE look into Musk, saying that he hopes the agency takes a look at its former leader’s voluminous government contracts.
