Elon Musk And Vivek Ramaswamy Bring Trump's DOGE To Capitol Hill

4 weeks ago It’s DOGE time at the U.S. Capitol. Billionaire Elon Musk arrived on Capitol Hill Thursday, expected to be joined by fellow business titan Vivek Ramaswamy. The two are heading up President-elect Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, with its plans to “dismantle” the federal government. Trump tapped the duo to come up with ways for firing federal workers, cutting government programs and slashing federal regulations — all part of Trump's agenda for a second-term at the White House. House Speaker Mike Johnson invited them to brief lawmakers on the plans ahead.
