  • By Andy Sullivan, David Morgan and Richard Cowan WASHINGTON -Billionaire Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy met on Thursday with Republican lawmakers whose support they will need to win the sweeping spending cuts that President-elect Donald Trump has asked them to find.

Elon Musk has been actively engaging with Capitol Hill, pushing for a government efficiency initiative reminiscent of former President Donald Trump's efforts to streamline federal operations. Musk's involvement includes discussions with key lawmakers about reducing regulatory burdens and enhancing technological integration in government functions. His advocacy aligns with his broader vision of applying Silicon Valley's efficiency principles to public sector management, aiming to cut red tape and accelerate decision-making processes. This initiative has sparked both interest and controversy, with some seeing it as a necessary modernization, while others view it as an overreach by private sector interests into government affairs. Musk's influence is seen as part of a larger trend where tech moguls are increasingly involved in shaping policy and governance.
