Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy of DOGE met with lawmakers on Thursday, in hopes of slashing the size of government once Trump takes office.
Many Americans don't trust the federal government, and Elon Musk — an eccentric billionaire business tycoon tasked by President-elect Donald Trump with helping slay the unwieldly bureaucratic leviathan — thinks that's just the right attitude. 'I think we should not trust the government,' Musk has previously declared. Apparently, people are way ahead of him.
But in order to realize their cost-cutting ambitions, Musk and Ramaswamy will need to get government figures on board with their plans. Lawmakers met with the two entrepreneurs in D.C. on Thursday. Under President Trump, we will take a blowtorch to the administrative state and reduce the size and scope of government. House and Senate Republicans look forward to hosting Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy tomorrow to discuss how the Department of Government Efficiency can help us get it done,' House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a Wednesday post on X.
