Elon Musk Says Congress Needs to Act on DOGE’s Savings Goal

Tesla CEO and presidential adviser Elon Musk said the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has no power to initiate major government spending cuts and that Congress needs to act.

“I am certainly an adviser. I don’t have formal power, and that’s it. The president can choose to accept my advice or not. And that’s how it goes,” he said during remarks at an economic forum in Qatar on Tuesday.
