President Donald Trump has promised the American people that he will codify the federal government cuts requested by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the group’s former lead advisor, Elon Musk.
Trump reaffirmed his commitment to permanently slashing bloated federal spending on Friday.
The president pledged that the DOGE cuts will be codified once his “Big, Beautiful Bill” clears Congress.
He made the pledge while speaking at a press conference alongside Musk, the architect behind DOGE and a key Trump ally in rooting out government waste.
Trump said the savings from DOGE will ultimately total “hundreds of billions of dollars.”
Musk is stepping back from his formal White House role to refocus on his businesses.
However, both men made clear that the drive for efficiency is far from over.
“We are totally committed to making the DOGE cuts permanent and stopping much more of the waste in the months to come,” Trump said.
“We want to get our great ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ finished and done.
“After that, we’re going to be—we put some of this into the bill, but most of it is going to come later.
“We’re going to have it [codified] by Congress.”
