Elon Musk's plan to reduce $2 trillion in U.S. federal spending through the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) is causing chaos on Capitol Hill. Surprisingly, some of President Biden's allies are supporting parts of Musk's cost-cutting agenda. Senator Bernie Sanders is backing Musk's focus on slashing Pentagon waste, citing the failure of the Pentagon's audit. Representative Ro Khanna and other Democrats have also expressed support for Musk's goals. However, there are concerns that Musk's plan is too extreme and would harm essential services. Despite this, Musk's focus on defense spending has garnered praise, aligning with Democratic concerns about military waste. Musk has also criticized the Federal Reserve and proposed shutting down certain agencies. The debate about Musk's plan continues, but his influence in Washington is growing.
