#ElonMusk said
#BillClinton and
#AlGore would be branded as “far-right Republicans” in 2025 for wanting to have “sensible” government spending, based on the criticism he and the Department of Government Efficiency have recently received.
Musk made the comment while speaking virtually at Morgan Stanley’s Technology, Media and Telecom conference in San Francisco on Wednesday morning. The Tesla chief said that he has been surprised by DOGE’s critics labeling its cuts to the federal government as a “some radical, far-right initiative.”
“I’m like, actually, if you just literally took Clinton’s words and Gore’s words, they’re the same words we’re using, almost identical,” Musk said, while chuckling lightly. “So, I mean Clinton and Gore sound like what would today be called far-right Republicans by saying, ‘Yes, we need to, you know, not have crazy deficits, and we do have sensible spending.’ That’s what they were saying — we’re saying the same thing.”
