Senate Democrat praises Elon Musk during Capitol Hill visit with Vivek Ramaswamy

nj.com — December 6, 2024 at 03:01 PM UTC

Elon Musk visited Capitol Hill with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to meet lawmakers about leading a new initiative called the "Department of Government Efficiency" under a potential second Trump administration. The aim is to reduce government size and regulations. Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) expressed admiration for Musk, stating that differing political views do not make them enemies. He acknowledged Musk's contributions to American society, including advancements in technology and business. Musk has become a significant ally of President-elect Trump, supporting his agenda and contributing to campaign efforts. The new initiative is not a government department, allowing Musk and Ramaswamy to avoid typical federal employment requirements.
