During an April 10 Cabinet meeting, Musk attributed the revised savings estimate to reductions in waste and fraud, asserting these cuts would enhance government services. “I’m excited to announce that we anticipate savings in ’26 from the reduction of waste and fraud by $150 billion,” Musk told President Donald Trump,
