Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has welcomed Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to the Department of Defense (DOD), even though DOGE is not an official government agency.

Hegseth mentioned that the DOD would collaborate with Musk and his team, calling the partnership long overdue.

“When we spend dollars, we need to know where they’re going and why, and that has not existed at the Defence Department,” Hegseth told Fox News on Sunday.

“When we spend dollars, we need to know where they are going and why. That’s simple accounting, and that has not existed at the Defence Department, and we are going to fix that.

“But that is not even DOGE. We welcome Elon Musk and DOGE into our department to help us identify additional ways to streamline costs, fast-track acquisitions, cut waste, and reduce tail to put it to tooth.

“We know that in a world where America is, you know, $37 trillion in debt, resources will not be unlimited. Every dollar we can find that isn’t being spent wisely is one we can put towards warfighters.

“So we welcome DOGE at the DOD. We will partner with them, and it’s long overdue. The Defence Department has a huge budget—but it needs to be responsible.”

Reports noted that US President Donald Trump had supported Musk and DOGE to take action in cutting costs across various government agencies, including the US Treasury Department and the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
