Waste, in this case, includes important services first and foremost. Medicare and social security are definitely waste. It’s money wasted on people who aren’t buying any of those expensive things that Musk and Trump are selling.
Trump has been consistent about few things, but one of those is not touching Social Security or Medicare. He seems to have drawn a pretty clear line in the sand there, which also significantly limits the options for cuts in the budget since those two are absolutely massive.

Well, he no longer needs to be consistent there. it’s not like he’s (legally) up for re-election or anything.
No, but he wants to be liked since he’s a massive narcissist, and gutting SS and Medicare would piss off everyone.
