Summary

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, leading Trump’s new DOGE, plan to cut $2 trillion in federal spending by ending remote work for federal employees and monitoring their productivity.

GOP Senator Joni Ernst supports the plan, citing remote work as wasteful, though federal data shows most eligible roles still require significant on-site work.

Critics argue the initiative overstates the issue and lacks enforcement power, as DOGE is an advisory body with no direct authority over government operations.
