Trump suggested DOGE check subsidies for Musk

US President Donald Trump has called on the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to check subsidies for American entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk for electric vehicles. He wrote about this on July 1 on the Truth Social network.

Trump added that Musk had always been aware of his position on subsidizing electric vehicles — there was no need to force everyone to choose just such cars. According to the president, the United States would have saved "a fortune" if it had not spent on such financing.
