President-elect Donald Trump has established the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a temporary agency headed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. This agency aims to reform the federal government by cutting wasteful spending, streamlining operations, and enhancing public service efficiency.

Trump and Musk have suggested the panel will make dramatic cuts. However the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power over the federal budget. Congress can take or disregard advice from outside panels like the proposed efficiency group. In an effort to be transparent, Musk said the panel will post its "actions" for public comment.

Billionaire Elon Musk, who will help lead Trump's Department of Efficiency, addressed a crowd at the the America First Policy Institute gala at Mar-a-Lago.
