Markwayne Mullin: Elon Musk Is the ‘Best Entrepreneur We’ve Had in Our Lifetime’ and Doing Consultancy for Free

EXCERPT:

MULLIN: “I don't want anybody to lose their job. That's the last thing we want. But at the same time, anytime you're trying to secure this country, which a national security risk we have right now is our national debt, we have to make changes, and we have to make it quickly. Unfortunately, when we have bureaucrats and politicians that have wastefully spent the American taxpayer dollars, and we don't have to look any further than USAID to see the wasteful billions of dollars that were spent, cuts had to take place. And every business owner understands this. Every business owner understands that you have to get your house in order before you can advance. That's exactly what DOGE is doing. Think about this. Every successful business owner out there and every successful business has hired consultants to come in and take an unbiased look and make changes, because sometimes when you're so close to it, you can't see what the real changes need to take place. Elon Musk is the United States' consultant right now. He is the — he is literally the — the best entrepreneur we've had in our lifetime, and he's doing it for free, and he's taking an unbiased look saying, 'These programs make no sense. Let's save the taxpayer dollars and get our house in order.'"
