Tech moguls join forces with Trump to reshape Washington's future
Two well-known tech leaders stepped into politics at Capitol Hill to discuss major changes in federal structure. Their new role might transform how government works in coming years
In a notable Capitol Hill gathering this thursday‚ Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy met with law-makers behind closed-doors to outline their vision for government restructuring. The tech-savvy duo got picked by president-elect Trump to lead a new department thats focused on making federal operations more efficient
The newly-formed Department of Government Efficiency has a clear-cut mission — streamlining federal operations through several key steps:
- Reducing federal workforce numbers
- Re-evaluating existing programs
- Simplifying government regulations
Both business-minded leaders bring their corporate know-how to this government role (which is part of Trumps broader “Save America“ plan). The meetings focus was on discussing practical ways to re-shape federal operations: some lawmakers showed interest in their ideas while others expressed different views about the proposed changes
The appointment of these non-traditional political figures signals a shift in approach to government management — Musk with his track record in tech innovation and Ramaswamy with his entrepreneurial background might bring fresh perspectives to Washingtonʼs administrative landscape
