Elon Musk made a surprise visit to the National Security Agency on Wednesday, a week after saying the secretive agency responsible for collecting foreign intelligence needed overhaul. Receiving Musk was Timothy Haugh, the head of the US National Security Agency and Cyber Command.
The National Security Agency issued a statement saying that this is Musk's first visit as a special adviser to US President Trump on cost cutting. The U.S. intelligence community has been preparing for Musk's review.
“The NSA needs an overhaul,” Musk wrote on social media platform X on March 6.
America’s national security apparatus should be immune to Musk’s cost-cutting efforts. But CIA Director John Ratcliffe offered a buyout plan to his subordinates.
