Musk and Ramaswamy Lobby Lawmakers on DOGE Efficiency Plan

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, appointed by President-elect Donald Trump to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), are meeting with lawmakers to gain support for a cost-cutting initiative aimed at reducing federal spending by $500 billion annually. The initiative, which has bipartisan interest, seeks to dismantle bureaucracy, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies. However, questions remain about its authority and specific targets, with potential cuts to organizations like Planned Parenthood and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
