Elon Musk said Bill Clinton and Al Gore 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.

U.S. Senate Republicans pushed for the U.S. Congress to codify spending cuts identified by billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency on Wednesday, after the Supreme Court declined to let President Donald Trump withhold payments to foreign aid organizations.

Before Elon Musk and his chainsaw, there was Mitch Daniels “the Blade.” The former Indiana governor and Office of Management and Budget director under President George W. Bush, Daniels established a reputation in the early 2000s as a knife to government.
