Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are leading a new Department of Government Efficiency aimed at reducing government waste.

Both have said a recent Supreme Court decision that restricts the ability of federal agencies to enact regulations would empower their plans to reduce head count at those agencies and cut unauthorized government programs.

Some legal experts said that's likely not the case, because it takes away agency's power to interpret rules and make decisions independently.

Many of the changes Musk and Ramaswamy are seeking to make are unlikely to be accomplished by executive power alone.

Congress would need to approve legislation to enact those changes.

Already, a bipartisan group of lawmakers is on board with advancing some of DOGE 's spending cut proposals.
