Trump Enlists Musk for Government Efficiency Overhaul

President-elect Donald Trump's aides are exploring ways to implement recommendations from a new government spending commission led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, potentially bypassing Congress. The commission aims to apply business efficiency principles to U.S. government spending. Trump's team is considering challenging a 1974 budget law to allow unilateral adoption of the commission's proposals, which could lead to a constitutional conflict over federal spending powers. While some Republicans support the move, legal experts argue it would likely be struck down by the courts.
