Trump Loyalist Russel Vought Takes Over DOGE, Vought To Lead Mass Layoffs With ‘Slash & Burn’ Agenda

Elon Musk has stepped down from leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), handing the reins to conservative policy strategist Russell Vought. A key Trump ally, Vought is best known for shaping Project 2025 and pushing aggressive spending cuts and federal downsizing. He aims to revive Trump’s Schedule F and slash budgets at agencies like USAID and NPR. Musk, who reportedly wants to focus on Tesla and SpaceX, had worked closely with Vought during DOGE’s early days. Critics warn Vought's Christian nationalist leanings and military spending cuts may spark major backlash. #ElonMusk #RussellVought #DOGE #Trump #GovernmentEfficiency #Project2025 #ScheduleF #FederalCuts #ChristianNationalism #Tesla #SpaceX #MuskExit #VoughtAgenda #BudgetCuts #NPR #USAID #CFPB #MilitarySpending #GOP #PoliticalNews #WashingtonWatch #BureaucracyReform #TrumpAdmin #GovernmentOverhaul #WhiteHousePolicy #SpendingCuts #PolicyShift #BreakingNews #ConservativeAgenda #MuskVsVought Also Read Elon Musk Exits Trump Administration After Slamming ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on His Way Out :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-exits-trump-administration-after-slamming-big-beautiful-bill-on-his-way-out-4166709.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk Criticises Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill', A Fracture In Key Relationship :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-criticises-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-a-fracture-in-key-relationship-4166667.html?ref=DMDesc SpaceX Starship Explodes Mid-Flight During Third Test, Firm Cites 'Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/spacex-starship-explodes-mid-flight-during-third-test-firm-cites-rapid-unscheduled-disassembly-4165683.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.124~

Musk Vs Trump: What Next For Trump’s Doge After Elon Musk Quits Trump Team? DOGE in Trouble?

Elon Musk's departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) marks a significant shift in the Trump administration's cost-cutting agenda. Musk, who served as a special government employee, stepped down after reaching the 130-day service limit. His exit follows criticism of the administration's "One Big Beautiful Bill," which Musk argued would increase the federal deficit, countering DOGE's objectives. During his tenure, Musk aimed to reduce federal spending by $2 trillion but managed to cut approximately $150 billion. His efforts included auditing government credit cards, canceling leases on underutilized federal buildings, and restructuring agencies like USAID and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. #ElonMusk #Trump #TrumpDOGE #TrumpVsMusk #MuskResignation #MuskTrumpFallout #ElonMuskNews #TrumpAdministration #MuskQuits #MuskGovernmentExit #WhiteHouseLive #MuskPoliticalViews #TrumpNews #USPolitics #ElonMuskControversy #MuskSteppingDown #TrumpWhiteHouse #MuskPoliticalDecision #ElonMuskStatement #TrumpMuskDrama #TrumpAdministrationChanges ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.346~GR.122~
