Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are sending representatives to agencies across the federal government, four people familiar with the matter said.

The agencies include the Treasury Department , the Internal Revenue Service and the departments of Homeland Security , Veterans Affairs , and Health and Human Services .

Musk and Ramasawamy are seeking to cut government spending and regulations.

DOGE is looking for IT, HR and financial staffers for full-time, salaried positions.

Steve Davis , the Boring Company president who oversaw steep cost-cutting at Twitter (now X) after Musk bought it, is helping to oversee the entire effort.

It's not clear how much weight Musk ’s star power will carry on Capitol Hill , where federal spending is prized for its benefits to constituents.
