Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues its efforts to reduce the size of the federal government, with reported savings of $48.3 billion. However, DOGE faces legal challenges from 14 Democratic attorneys general who argue that Musk's unchecked power is unconstitutional. Despite these challenges, Musk's team is expected to meet with the Pentagon soon, a move welcomed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 11: Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk delivers remarks as he joins U.S. President Donald Trump during an executive order signing in the Oval Office at the White House on February 11, 2025 in Washington, DC. Trump is to sign an executive order implementing the Department of Government Efficiency’s "workforce optimization initiative," which, according to Trump, will encourage agencies to limit hiring and reduce the size of the federal government.
Amid various legal challenges, Musk's team is expected to address the Pentagon soon, a move welcomed by new Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. "I hope to welcome Elon to the Pentagon very soon and his team working in collaboration with us," Pete Hegseth said. "There are waste redundancies and head counts and headquarters that need to be addressed. There's just no doubt."
