Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy reveal their plans to cut government waste

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have revealed their plans to cut government waste.

This is a remarkable blueprint.

Step #1 is to roll back illegitimate regulations.

"The most immediate and significant action DOGE will take is targeting the tens of thousands of regulations imposed by federal agencies, many of which exceed the constitutional authority granted to these agencies," Musk and Ramaswamy explained in their op-ed.

Step #2 is to streamline federal agencies.

The duo also highlighted the need to require a return to in-person work. As they explained, this would "incentivize employees who are unwilling to meet this expectation to voluntarily exit, reducing the overall headcount."

Step #3 is to tackle waste, fraud, and abuse.

Musk and Ramaswamy identified eliminating unnecessary expenditures as a key priority. "A significant portion of federal spending, over $500 billion annually, is either unauthorized by Congress or used for purposes Congress never intended," they noted in their op-ed.

Their plan includes ending wasteful programs such as excessive funding for international organizations and scrutinizing spending in agencies with a history of inefficiency, including the Department of Defense.

"The government’s procurement system is notorious for waste and inefficiency," they explained, urging for large-scale audits of federal contracts.
