President Donald Trump has announced plans for biweekly meetings with Elon Musk’s Doge Corporation leadership and members of his Cabinet, signaling a structured approach to overseeing the company’s influence in government operations. The decision follows concerns over the rapid policy shifts stemming from Musk’s involvement in federal initiatives.
Trump emphasized that his administration would take a “scalpel rather than a hatchet” approach to addressing issues related to Doge’s role, suggesting that adjustments would be made thoughtfully rather than through sweeping actions. The move comes as Musk’s company has played an increasingly prominent role in policy discussions, particularly in areas related to technology, infrastructure, and finance.
The planned meetings are expected to provide greater oversight while allowing Doge to maintain its influence in government projects. Some officials have welcomed the decision as a way to ensure transparency, while critics argue it signals preferential treatment for a private company.
With Doge Corporation continuing to expand its footprint across various sectors, the administration’s handling of Musk’s growing influence remains a topic of national debate. The biweekly meetings could serve as a key indicator of how the relationship between the White House and Doge will evolve moving forward.
