The White House won’t cut Social Security, President Trump’s 2024 co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita said in a new interview in response to a question about tech billionaire Elon Musk’s comments about the need to examine entitlement spending gained traction.

Elon Musk alleged that up to $700 billion in entitlement spending could be “waste and fraud,” raising alarm among Democrats.

The president has seemingly doubled down on his proposal since his returning to Washington. In February, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Trump administration is committed to implementing the "largest tax cut in history," which includes ending taxes on Social Security.
