Elon Musk's leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency under President Trump aims to slash federal spending by potentially dismantling agencies like USAID. This initiative, while aiming to combat the national debt, faces bipartisan criticism.

Amid ongoing tensions in foreign aid and procurement decisions, Musk's approach to efficiency continues to draw scrutiny from lawmakers and watchdogs alike.
