Musk's Role in Government Spending Cuts

Elon Musk now officially holds a significant role in the U.S. government through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which aims to drastically reduce federal spending. His approach mirrors tactics used during his time at Twitter, where he implemented severe cuts that resulted in an 80% reduction in staff. Musk's newfound leverage allows him influence over critical agencies, including the U.S. Treasury and General Services Administration, thus putting him in a position to reshape budgetary priorities. This unprecedented integration of a private individual into a government role raises questions about accountability and the impact of his decisions on federal operations.
