Elon Musk appeared unfazed after President Donald Trump publicly called on the DOGE director to “GET MORE AGGRESSIVE” with his work in a series of Saturday morning posts on Truth Social. The president appeared to give Musk a performance evaluation as he declared in an all-caps message: “ELON IS DOING A GREAT JOB, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM GET MORE AGGRESSIVE.” He added, “REMEMBER, WE HAVE A COUNTRY TO SAVE, BUT ULTIMATELY, TO MAKE GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE. MAGA!” During the first month of Trump’s second term, Musk has emerged as a powerful yet chaotic force in the White House as his DOGE goon squad has taken an ax to federal spending and its workforce. Despite leveling countless accusations of fraud at many federal agencies, though, Musk has yet to provide substantial evidence for his allegations—or demonstrate the billions in savings he has claimed to create. He took Trump’s evaluation in stride, however, writing back on X, alongside a screenshot of the post: “Will do, Mr. President!” To which MAGA wannabe politico Valentina Gomez responded in a tweet, “Activate unhinged mode.”
