Marjorie Taylor Greene to Coordinate With Cost-Cutting Effort by Musk, Ramaswamy

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the controversial Republican firebrand from Georgia, said Thursday that she will head a new House subcommittee that will coordinate with the Department of Government Efficiency, the Trump-sanctioned effort run by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to slash federal regulations and employment.

Greene and House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer have already met with Ramaswamy and his team ahead of the subcommittee’s formal creation, CNBC reports.

Comer said that starting early next year, the new Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency will focus on executing the Trump administration’s goals of streamlining operations and cutting red tape. “I look forward to working with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to deliver on these goals to Make America Great Again,” he told Fox News.

Comer said there are “too many fat cats in government,” and vowed that the DOGE committee will get the “chopping block going.”

In a statement provided to CNN, Greene said she planned to work “hand in hand” with President-elect Donald Trump and the DOGE team. “Our subcommittee’s work will expose people who need to be FIRED,” she said. “The bureaucrats who don’t do their job, fail audits like in the Pentagon, and don’t know where BILLIONS of dollars are going, will be getting a pink slip.”

Greene said she plans to hold hearings and investigate waste broadly. “No topic will be off the table,” she said, per Fox News. “The goal of DOGE is to bring accountability and GUT useless government agencies.”
