Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has “cracked the code” on how to break the “deep state” with the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), according to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).
Johnson told Mark Levin, host of “Life, Liberty, and Levin” on Fox News in an interview that aired Saturday night, that he met with Musk for an hour at the DOGE leader’s office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building last week.
The speaker noted that Musk has been working out of the old Secretary of War Suite and “we laughed about how appropriate that is because he’s declared war on the deep state and the bureaucracy.”
Johnson added, “You have Democrats now out having rallies to stop him. What is he doing? He’s identifying and allowing us to cut out fraud, waste, and abuse. How could they be against that? It’s irrational. It’s going to work against them.”
Later in the interview, Levin got Johnson to agree that Democrats are being hypocritical for opposing Musk’s work to transform the government via DOGE after they embraced another wealthy billionaire, George Soros, who has influenced policy.
Johnson also talked about how Musk is helping Congress perform its constitutional duty to keep the Executive Branch in check by providing a level of transparency that has been lacking in recent decades.
“The oversight job has been hindered because the deep state and the bureaucracy has not turned over the data. They wouldn’t give us the information we were seeking. We didn’t know all this because it was hidden,” Johnson said.
“Now Elon has cracked the code. He is on the inside of the belly of the beast, Mark,” the speaker added. “And he is unveiling and revealing all these things that we knew intuitively were happening but we didn’t have the evidence.”
Johnson concluded his comments by emphasizing, “This is a game changer. It is truly revolutionary and we’re going to restore ultimately through this process the federal government to the original intent of the Founders.”
The speaker added, “And that’s what has the the Big Government socialist liberals and Democrat Party apoplectic because they’re afraid of what the final result of this is going to be and it’s very exciting for the people.”
