Elon Musk reshared a post claiming that former Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama deported far more people than Trump without facing legal challenges, while Trump faced 30 injunctions over just 100,000 deportations. Musk commented, “Hmm.”
He also defended his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) by posting a 2011 video of Barack Obama launching a similar initiative, the “Campaign to Cut Waste.” In the video, Obama and then-Vice President Biden emphasized cutting pointless government spending and increasing transparency, echoing DOGE’s mission. Musk used the clip to suggest continuity between DOGE and past Democratic efforts.
