Musk and Ramaswamy Push for In-Person Work to Boost Government Efficiency

Elon Musk, appointed by Donald Trump, plans to lead a task force called the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) to enforce a strict return-to-office mandate for federal employees, aiming to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget. The initiative, co-led by Vivek Ramaswamy, seeks to eliminate regulations, reduce the federal workforce, and increase productivity. The plan includes significant cuts to discretionary spending and relies on executive orders, potentially facing political resistance due to its impact on federal employment across various states.
