Golf legend Phil Mickelson has voiced his support for Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), commending their efforts to improve fiscal responsibility in the United States.

The three-time Masters champion took to X on Tuesday to express his appreciation for Musk’s work with the Trump administration, sharing a clip of Musk’s recent interview on Fox Business Network.

“It’s incredibly kind and generous of Elon Musk to help America become fiscally responsible. We all owe him a huge debt of gratitude. Nicola Tesla was unappreciated while he was alive despite his numerous contributions to humanity. I hope Elon is shown the appreciation he deserves in his lifetime,” Mickelson wrote.

Musk acknowledged Mickelson’s praise with a simple response: “Thank you.”

Mickelson has previously voiced support for President Donald Trump, praising him for his contributions to the game of golf.

Musk’s involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency has gained widespread attention as he continues to push for financial accountability in Washington.

His partnership with the Trump administration has focused on identifying wasteful spending and streamlining operations across various federal agencies.
