Musk and Ramaswamy Push for Major Federal Spending Cuts Amid Criticism

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, advisors to the Trump administration, propose cutting $2 trillion in government waste by ending remote work for federal employees, a move supported by Senator Joni Ernst. They argue that most federal workers do not work in-person full-time, and propose monitoring telework to enforce office attendance. Critics point out that the Department of Government Efficiency, which Musk and Ramaswamy lead, lacks actual power to enforce such changes.
