Elon Musk, the co-head of DOGE, criticized the 1,547-page government funding bill on X, saying it was a major example of excessive spending, calling it a 'bigger piece of pork.' His disdain reflects a broader push to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget by 2026, emphasizing the need for efficiency in government programs.
In urging Congress to reconsider the spending bill, Musk reposted his colleague Vivek Ramaswamy's statement that all representatives should carefully read the document before voting, highlighting a crucial concern over government fiscal responsibility.
Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged a discussion with Musk and Ramaswamy about their shared worries over spending practices, showing a unique alliance between tech leaders and political figures focused on budget reform.
Both Musk and Ramaswamy have indicated potential areas for budget cuts, which include reducing the size of the federal workforce and eliminating entire departments, illustrating their commitment to significant fiscal reform.
