Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk says the Department of Government Efficiency, which he ran for President Trump, was "somewhat successful" with cutting wasteful spending and that he would not do it again.

"We were a little bit successful. We were somewhat successful," Musk said Tuesday on the "The Katie Miller Podcast," according to Axios.

DOGE "stopped a lot of funding that really just made no sense" and was "entirely wasteful," he said, according to CBS News.

When Musk was asked if he would repeat his time leading DOGE, he said, "I think instead of doing DOGE, I would've basically … worked in my companies, essentially, and they wouldn't have been burning the cars." During Musk's time at DOGE, there were vandalism and arson attacks on Tesla dealerships.

He said the biggest issue is "there are massive transfer payments going to illegal immigrants," adding that illegal immigrants are being paid to come to the U.S. "in vast numbers" and "fast-tracked to citizenship."

As a result, he said those people are "beholden to government payments and voting hard left," and that it is, essentially, "voter importation."

Miller is married to Trump's policy adviser Stephen Miller.
