Overview
President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the Department of Government Efficiency. They aim to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget by reducing the workforce and regulatory reforms. Although facing bipartisan support and forming the DOGE Caucus, the plans encounter skepticism regarding the legality and public impact of deep cuts. The duo plans to collaborate with Congress, emphasizing fewer regulations leading to fewer employees and initiating an email tip line for reporting government waste.
