Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) is investigating federal employees who have a significantly higher net worth compared to their salaries. President Donald Trump has ordered federal agencies to cooperate with D.O.G.E in order to reduce the size of the federal workforce. Elon Musk defended D.O.G.E's strategy and claimed to have already uncovered billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse. Musk has been deploying young investigators to comb through payroll systems and track employee assets. Trump has vowed to push D.O.G.E's findings through Congress and criticized federal judges for blocking his government overhaul efforts. Newly-appointed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Citadel founder Ken Griffin praised Musk's efforts to curb government waste. Musk's aggressive tactics in cutting jobs without warning are well-known, as seen in his previous actions at Tesla and Twitter.
