Musk and Ramaswamy brief Congress on Trump's government efficiency plans

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy met with lawmakers on Capitol Hill to discuss plans for President-elect Donald Trump's proposed Department of Government Efficiency. This initiative aims to reduce federal programs and cut government jobs as part of Trump's "Save America" agenda. House Speaker Mike Johnson invited Musk and Ramaswamy to brief Congress on their strategies. They plan to collaborate with the White House's Office of Management and Budget to implement significant budget cuts, despite lacking formal government experience. The duo's advisory group, called DOGE, is not an official government department, allowing them to bypass typical ethics checks. Some lawmakers express skepticism about potential cuts to popular programs, while others support the initiative to identify wasteful spending.
