DOGE is not a cabinet-level department, but a blue-ribbon committee outside the government that will be tasked with examining issues related to government spending, waste, efficiency and operations.
DOGE fans led by Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy have suggested that $2 trillion in government waste could be cut from the federal budget by cutting spending, eliminating government programs and reducing the federal workforce.
In an interview with FOX Business on “Varney & Co.” Last month, Musk's mother, Mae Musk, clarified that the co-chairs themselves will not be paid for government-related work.
“(Elon and Ramaswamy) also want to share their expertise with (Trump), and they're volunteering, they don't need to earn money,” May told Stewart Varney. “They're just volunteering to help out in specific areas that they're an expert in. And I just light up when I hear all that.”
“And everyone is volunteering to help (Elon) and Vivek,” Mai had added to the DOGE workforce.
