Elon Musk presents vision for government efficiency but offers few details in Congress meeting
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy presented their vision for a new "Department of Government Efficiency" to Congress, but provided few details on its implications. The meeting, attended mostly by Republicans, left many questions unanswered about potential budget cuts. Musk's only notable comment was a positive response to the idea of more Democrats joining the effort. Republican leaders expressed enthusiasm for Musk's involvement but avoided specifics on how to reduce the federal budget without affecting key social programs. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who will chair a new subcommittee on DOGE, emphasized the need to scrutinize federal payments for legitimacy. She highlighted concerns about government waste and the national debt, echoing frustrations shared by other Republican lawmakers.
