President Donald Trump and DOGE head Elon Musk emphasized the role of "full transparency" in efforts to root out waste, fraud and abuse in an exclusive interview on "Hannity."
"You know what's better than saying ‘trust me’? It's just full transparency. So what we're doing with DOGE, just go to DOGE.gov. You can see every single action that has been taken," Musk told Fox News host Sean Hannity during a segment that aired Wednesday.

The Tesla founder did admit DOGE may make "some mistakes" and will not be "perfect," but he vowed to "fix the mistakes very quickly" to stay focused on addressing the nation's looming fiscal doomsday.
"If we don't solve the deficit, there won't be money for medical care, there won't be money for Social Security," Musk said. "We either solve the deficit or all we'll be doing is paying debt. It's got to be solved or there's no medical care. There's no Social Security, there's no nothing. It's got to be solved. It's not optional. America will go bankrupt if this is not done."
Musk added that "if the ship of America sinks, we're all going down with it."
"This idea that people can escape to New Zealand or some other place is false. If the central pillar of Western civilization, that is America, falls, the whole roof comes crashing down, and there is no escape," he stressed.
