Musk and DOGE try to slash government by cutting out those who answer to voters

  • The Trump administration is implementing significant government cuts via the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, led by Elon Musk, an unelected businessman with no electoral accountability.
  • Some fiscal conservatives are alarmed that cuts are being proposed by an unelected official rather than elected Congress members, causing concerns about accountability.
  • Republican senators informed Musk that he needs Congress to approve specific cuts, using a procedure for votes called rescission.
  • Trump stated during a Congress address that his administration is committed to reducing spending despite concerns over voter discontent.
