Republican senators met privately with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to discuss concerns about Elon Musk’s management of the Department of Government Efficiency. The conversations regarded its lack of transparency and funding cuts affecting federal agencies.
Sen. Susan Collins criticized Musk’s “sledgehammer approach” and advocated for a more considered strategy regarding federal workforce changes.
Public opinion has turned against Musk, with a recent YouGov poll showing only 43% rated him favorably, while 50% found him unfavorable, highlighting his waning support among Americans.
