Musk and Ramaswamy brief lawmakers 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 regulations as part of Trump's "Save America" agenda. House Speaker Mike Johnson invited Musk and Ramaswamy to brief Congress on their plans. They will work with the White House's Office of Management and Budget to implement significant budget cuts, despite lacking public service experience. The duo's advisory group, called DOGE, is not a formal government department, allowing them to bypass typical federal employment checks. Critics have raised concerns about transparency and accountability in their proposed budget cuts.
