Elon Musk and seven members of his so-called “department of government efficiency” sat down for a rare interview on Thursday evening on Fox News .

Musk and team members repeatedly attempted to assuage fears over Doge ’s targeting of key government agencies.

Musk downplayed the number of government employees his initiative has targeted in cuts, saying it was a small percentage of the overall government workforce.

Musk has lost some $ 100bn from his personal fortune due to a slump in Tesla ’s stock this year .

Musk said he was running his slew of businesses, which include X, SpaceX and Tesla , “with great difficulty” because of his work with the Trump administration.
