<p>Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jim-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jim Jordan</a> (R-OH), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, defended Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency&#8217;s efforts to scrap &#8220;stupid&#8221; government spending.</p>
<p>Jordan made the remarks in an interview with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/podcasts/morning-wire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Morning Wire</a> as the Left ramps up its attacks on President Donald Trump and Musk&#8217;s influence on the Trump administration. After Trump put Musk to work last month, DOGE found government waste totaling billions of dollars. In his interview with Morning Wire, Jordan slammed Democrats for raging against Musk&#8217;s &#8220;common sense&#8221; actions.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think the American people view it this way: they&#8217;re saying like, &#8216;Wow, we were spending our tax money on these stupid things?&#8217; And of course, the Left, instead of attacking the stupid things and stopping the stupid things that, you know, taxpayer money is being spent on, they attack the guy who&#8217;s exposing it,&#8221; Jordan told Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think the country, deep down, appreciates [that] President Trump said he was going to do this,&#8221; the Republican added.</p>

<p>Jordan said the Left was busy defending &#8220;career bureaucrats&#8221; after &#8220;77 million people said, we want President Trump making these decisions.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not the career experts — the Dr. Faucis of the world — who run the country. It&#8217;s the people who put their names on a ballot and get elected. They make the decisions,&#8221; Jordan added.</p>
<p>Last week, Democratic leaders <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/04/democrats-protest-elon-musk-treasury-washington" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined protesters</a> in Washington, D.C., to denounce what they described as Musk&#8217;s &#8220;hostile takeover&#8221; of government financial systems. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) told the crowd, “Every American’s information is at risk. What does Elon Musk do with everything he touches? He makes money!”</p>
<p>A federal judge in New York temporarily blocked DOGE from accessing Treasury Department data after 19 state attorneys general sued to stop DOGE&#8217;s access to sensitive data. Despite the challenge to DOGE&#8217;s work, Republicans remain supportive of Musk taking a flamethrower to government spending.</p>
<p>“It’s a very aggressive agenda that was promised to the voters. Remember, [Trump is] delivering on campaign promises right now,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doge-finds-shocking-government-expenditures-not-approved-by-congress-mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Monday. “We are going to be codifying a lot of these changes, and what they’ve uncovered is, frankly, shocking. There are a lot of expenditures of the federal government that Congress has not been aware of, in spite of our best efforts to do oversight, some of this has been hidden.”</p>
<p>Jordan added that Trump &#8220;has said he&#8217;s going to use Elon Musk and his team, and God bless them for what they&#8217;re exposing and showing. And the platform they have to really get that out there for the American people to see and understand, I think it&#8217;s a good thing.&#8221;</p>
