Musk declares: Americans support reducing the size of the US government

Musk, the first head of the new U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), said in a comment on the results of a poll conducted by Reuters and Ipsos that Americans support reducing the size of the U.S. government. According to the survey data, 61% of Americans support reducing the size of the U.S. government, while 35% of respondents oppose it. The poll showed that this measure had the highest support among respondents compared to some other orders and proposals issued by the U.S. President Trump's administration. Musk posted a picture of the survey results on the social platform X and wrote: "Interesting survey. Reducing the size of the government is the most popular issue right now!"
