Elon Musk’s budget-slashing hits political reality of suffering Americans
Fox News
Almost everyone agrees Washington bureaucracy needs to be cut down to size. But are Elon Musk's drastic DOGE cuts the right way to go about things?
What President Trump is doing in trying to shrink the size of government is popular – even if his billionaire budget-slasher, Elon Musk, is not – and many of the court battles are likely to be resolved in his favor. Howard Kurtz is the host of FOX News Channel's MediaBuzz (Sundays 11 AM-12PM/ET). Based in Washington, D.C., he joined the network in 2013 and regularly appears on Special Report with Bret Baier and The Story with Martha MacCallum among other programs.
