ELON: WE'LL DRAIN THE SWAMPS AND BE TRANSPARENT ABOUT IT “We're going to be very open and transparent and be very clear about this is what we're doing [with DOGE], here are the issues, this is the math for what's being spent.  We're going to make the spending lower.  If somebody's got a better idea for how to make the spending lower, tell us. But if we don't, we're going to bankrupt the country.  We got to do something.  It's got to be some pretty big moves.” Audience:  “Drain the swamp!” Elon:  “I'd say, drain the swamps.  There are so many swamps.” Source: Lancaster, Pennsylvania, October 2024
