Trump reins in Musk, announces biweekly DOGE meetings with cabinet: ‘Scalpel rather than the hatchet’

President Trump revealed plans for cabinet secretaries and other high-level administration officials to hold more sway in the Department of Government Efficiency’s push for personnel cuts.

Cabinet officials will meet with DOGE every two weeks until the administration has wrapped up its efforts to revamp the federal workforce, Trump announced, while lauding special government employee Elon Musk’s efforts as “an incredible success.”
