Where will Musk and Ramaswamy's new Department of Government Efficiency make cuts?

Donald Trump wants to make the government leaner and more efficient, handing the task to Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. The two will co-lead the new Department of Government Efficiency or "DOGE" for short.

The federal budget totaled $6.75 trillion for fiscal year 2024. Musk wants to slash that by two trillion.

In 2024, the highest spending buckets were Social Security, at $1.46 trillion, health, at $912 billion, and Medicare, at $874 billion. Musk hasn’t given specific plans but says everyone would be "getting a haircut."
