US EditionTrump's cabinet ready to reassert power as Musk steps back
- Members of US President Donald Trump's cabinet are expected to limit the influence of Department of Government Efficiency employees and regain control over budgets and staffing as Elon Musk steps back from DOGE, according to two government sources.
- Musk plans to reduce his commitment to DOGE to one or two days a week to concentrate on Tesla, raising concerns about the future of DOGE's projects.
- Cabinet secretaries have sought greater control over budgetary decisions, and the absence of Musk's counterbalance may allow them to implement spending cuts without his approval, as stated by a government source.
- Experts believe that budget-slashing efforts will continue despite Musk's part-time role, citing executive orders that established these initiatives and support from Trump Cabinet officials.
