These sound like there are substantial ambitions.
It depends on his mandate. I think a big part of his approach is to "make requirements less dumb", so I think he can cut a lot of government spending by cutting environmental and social rules on otherwise unrelated legislation. He can slash NASA funding.
He might also be able to improve efficiency by firing people he deems low-performers.
But there's probably not one single big thing he finds.
