Elon Musk and Steve Davis Lead Task Force Targeting Federal Spending Cuts

The Department of Government Efficiency, co-led by Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aims to address $2 trillion in federal spending reductions as Steve Davis spearheads recruitment efforts.

Steve Davis, a longtime Elon Musk associate and president of the Boring Company, is recruiting staff for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
DOGE, an initiative proposed by President-elect Donald Trump, is not an official government agency and has an unclear mandate but aims to cut $2 trillion in federal spending.
Davis is known for his extreme cost-cutting measures across Musk's ventures, including SpaceX, the Boring Company, and Twitter (now X), where he played a key role in reducing costs and headcount.
Critics have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, given Musk's history of regulatory challenges with his companies, though Trump has stated Musk will prioritize national interests.
Davis’s leadership style is characterized by frugality, strict deadlines, and a hands-on approach, often involving unconventional methods to meet cost and time constraints.
