US President-elect Donald Trump said on Friday that he is considering eliminating daylight saving time, calling it "inconvenient" and "very costly" as his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) secretaries also back the action.
Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk and Republican Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy advocated for the time change to be eliminated.
Trump said on his Truth platform: "The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn't! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation."
"Looks like the people want to abolish the annoying time change," Musk posted in response to a poll on X calling for DST to be canceled.
"It’s inefficient & easy to change," Ramaswamy responded.
Any changes would need to be passed by Congress, and legislation on the issue has been considered before in recent years.
