Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are leading efforts to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The federal budget for fiscal year 2024 is $6.75 trillion, with a majority allocated to federal programs, including Social Security and Medicare.
Musk and Ramaswamy propose eliminating entire departments like the Department of Education, Defense, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to achieve their savings.
The duo aims to utilize recent Supreme Court rulings to facilitate regulatory cuts, although experts argue their interpretation may be flawed.
Plans include reducing the federal workforce and relocating agencies, with a focus on maintaining transparency regarding their actions.
