Elon Musk posted on his social media platform X, stating that he cautiously optimistically believes the goal of reducing government spending by $4 billion a day will be achieved this weekend. He previously calculated in a post that if the federal deficit for fiscal year 2026 is to be reduced from $2 trillion to $1 trillion, then it would need to decrease by $4 billion every day. He admits this goal is ambitious, but cutting the deficit in half will stimulate economic growth and prevent inflation.
