Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), emphasized the need to eradicate entire federal agencies during a speech at the World Government Summit in Dubai. During the address, he stated that bureaucracy undermines democracy and proposed significant spending cuts as part of the Trump administration's strategy. Musk's leadership has faced bipartisan criticism, particularly from Democrats who accuse him and President Trump of unlawfully dismantling government agencies. The DOGE's recent hearing focused on improper payments, with lawmakers debating the effectiveness and legality of Musk's initiatives.
