Musk, Ramaswamy meet with lawmakers to build support for slashing government programs
- It was a busy day on Capitol Hill where Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy met with House and Senate Republicans. The two were recently appointed by President-elect Trump to lead a new commission that aims to reduce government spending.
Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy met with Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill to advocate for significant reductions in government spending and regulations. Their discussions focused on slashing what they perceive as unnecessary federal programs, with a particular emphasis on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Education. Ramaswamy, who has been vocal about his views on reducing the size of government, argued that these agencies often overstep their bounds, stifling innovation and economic growth. Musk, known for his critiques of excessive regulation, echoed these sentiments, suggesting that less government intervention could accelerate technological and economic advancements. The meetings were part of a broader push by some GOP members to shrink the federal government's footprint, aligning with their fiscal conservatism and deregulation agendas.
