“President Donald Trump promised to make the federal government more efficient — to do more with less. He even deputized billionaire Elon Musk to be the face of a new Department of Government Efficiency,” NBC News reports.
“But critics say Musk’s chainsaw approach to slashing government programs, contracts and workers is having the opposite effect, sowing such confusion that it has hamstrung the bureaucracy’s ability to serve the public and even carry out key parts of Trump’s own agenda.”
Washington Post: Musk fights back as some Trump aides resist intensifying DOGE push.
CNN: A nascent backlash against Musk sharpens risk for Trump and GOP.
