Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy discuss government spending initiative with lawmakers

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy met with Republican lawmakers in Washington to discuss a new initiative called the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE). The project aims to address government spending but lacks specific details at this stage. House Speaker Mike Johnson described the meeting as a brainstorming session. Ramaswamy and Musk did not answer questions from reporters, and the initiative is intended to function as an advisory group rather than a traditional government agency. Lawmakers, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, mentioned plans to create a "naughty list" to track congressional spending behavior. While some Republicans support significant cuts to federal spending, the feasibility of these goals remains uncertain.
