baltimoresun.com

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are set to meet with lawmakers on Capitol Hill to discuss plans for significant cuts to the federal government. They were invited by House Speaker Mike Johnson to brief legislators on Trump's "Save America" agenda. Musk and Ramaswamy aim to collaborate with the White House's Office of Management and Budget to propose structural reductions in government spending. They have formed a group called DOGE, which includes over 50 Republicans and two Democrats, focused on identifying wasteful spending. Despite their lack of public service experience, Musk and Ramaswamy are enthusiastic supporters of Trump's agenda. They will not receive payment for their advisory roles, but some groups are calling for transparency and public input in their recommendations for budget cuts.
