India, Feb. 19 -- Donald Trump revealed in his latest interview that he wanted to hire somebody "smarter" than Elon Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). He, however, was unsuccessful in his attempt.

Trump and Musk appeared for a joint interview on Fox News' Sean Hannity. The President revealed what drew him to the world's wealthiest man. "You know, I wanted to find somebody smarter than him," he disclosed.

"I searched all over. I just couldn't do it," Trump continued.

Stressing that he tried very hard and failed to find anyone smarter, he jokingly said, "We settled on this guy."

Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated Tuesday that Musk's DOGE is not legally able to terminate employees.
