Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

House Speaker Mike Johnson will host Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy on December 5 to discuss the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This initiative aims to reduce government spending and regulations while potentially laying off federal workers, causing employee concerns. The DOGE, launched by the incoming Trump administration, strives to cut wasteful expenditures and has already formed a caucus in the Senate. Meanwhile, Musk's proposal to eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau raises fears of significant policy changes, even as some Democrats express willingness to collaborate on cutting defense spending.
