President-elect Donald Trump and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk have set their sights on overhauling the federal government to make it more efficient and cost-effective. Musk, known for his ambitious projects and leadership roles in various companies, has proposed significant budget cuts totaling at least $2 trillion to reduce government spending.
Musk's vision for a leaner government has raised concerns among budget experts and federal employees, as well as individuals who rely on government assistance. The proposed establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Musk's leadership, along with co-leader Vivek Ramaswamy, aims to identify and eliminate wasteful spending.
