A new House subcommittee will reportedly work with the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to help slash government waste. The new Delivering on Government Efficiency Subcommittee will be established by the House Oversight Committee’s chairman, Representative James Comer (R-KY), and chaired by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Fox News reported. President-elect Donald Trump has tapped Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead DOGE, which he said will “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies,” giving government an “entrepreneurial approach.” Comer said the new subcommittee “will align with the Trump administration’s priorities to eliminate government waste, streamline the federal government’s operations and cut red tape that’s stifling jobs and increasing costs for the American people.” He added that Trump’s “landslide victory reflects a clear mandate to address inflationary spending that’s driving up the cost of living for hardworking Americans.” “Wasteful government spending must end, and taxpayers deserve to see their money used effectively and efficiently,” Comer said. Comer reportedly met with Ramaswamy and Greene recently to discuss the project. “A key step to driving greater efficiency in government is exposing the problem to the public — we are grateful that the House Oversight Committee has created a subcommittee to focus on this work,” a spokesperson for Ramaswamy said. “We look forward to working together.” Greene said the new subcommittee would bring “transparency and truth to the American people through hearings.” “I’m excited to chair this new subcommittee designed to work hand in hand with President Trump, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy and the entire DOGE team,” Greene said. “We will identify and investigate the waste, corruption and absolutely useless parts of our federal government.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “No topic will be off the table,” Greene said, adding that she expects the subcommittee “will expose people who need to be fired.” DOGE will be a commission outside the government that will work with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to advise the president on what government bloat can be cut. Musk said he plans to target overregulation and out-of-control spending. “The world is suffering slow strangulation by overregulation. Every year, the noose tightens a little more,” the SpaceX founder and Tesla CEO posted last week. “We’re going to make the spending lower … if we don’t we’re going to bankrupt the country,” Musk said during a town hall in Pennsylvania last month. DOGE will operate on a deadline. Trump said it would finish its work by July 4, 2026, the nation’s 250th birthday,

It’s another battle of the billionaires, with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos denying a politically charged allegation shared by tech executive Elon Musk. Overnight, Musk posted to his social media platform, X, about hearing that Bezos had been telling people that President-elect Donald Trump would lose the 2024 election. “Just learned tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everyone that [Trump] would lose for sure, so they should sell all their Tesla and SpaceX stock,” Musk said. Musk, who endorsed Trump on the campaign trail and is now slated to help lead the president-elect’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), owns Tesla and SpaceX. Bezos shot back in reply on Thursday morning, saying, “Nope. 100% not true.” Nope. 100% not true. — Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) November 21, 2024 The denial was the latest salvo in a longstanding rivalry that ranges from competition between their space companies to Musk dissing Amazon’s “Lord of The Rings” series. And there is the question of who is the wealthiest person in the world. With Tesla shares rising since the election and SpaceX just conducting another successful launch, Musk led the list as of press time with a net worth of $316.1 billion, according to Forbes. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ At $213.3 billion, Bezos ranked third, behind Oracle’s Larry Ellison. Bezos had been the world’s richest person as recently as earlier this year. Bezos made headlines in October when it emerged that he made the decision for the newspaper he owns, The Washington Post, to end its practice of endorsing presidential candidates. “Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election. No undecided voters in Pennsylvania are going to say, ‘I’m going with Newspaper A’s endorsement.’ None,” he wrote in an op-ed. “What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias,” Bezos added. “A perception of non-independence. Ending them is a principled decision, and it’s the right one.” After Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the November election, Bezos released a statement congratulating the president-elect. “Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory,” Bezos said in a post to X. “No nation has bigger opportunities,” he continued. “Wishing [Trump] all success in leading and uniting the America we all love.”
