Senator Elizabeth Warren has criticized Elon Musk's cost-cutting initiative known as DOGE, calling it a potential venue for corruption. In a letter to Musk, she outlined a series of reforms aimed at saving the U.S. government approximately $2 trillion over the next decade, without sacrificing essential programs or raising taxes on the middle class. Warren expressed her concerns that DOGE, which is positioned to streamline government operations, might benefit well-connected billionaires rather than the everyday American. Musk's initiative claims to focus on reducing bureaucracy and waste, but specifics on budget cuts remain vague. Warren's 30 proposed ideas include improving contract negotiations and closing tax loopholes for the wealthy. The controversy around DOGE escalated when the initiative was officially announced alongside President Donald Trump's inauguration, prompting skepticism about its viability and intentions.
