Trump Grants Musk Additional Powers to Review Government Contracts

In a move aimed at streamlining government operations and reducing spending, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order granting Elon Musk's Government Efficiency Office additional powers to review and overhaul government contracts.

The executive order, signed on Wednesday, directs federal agencies to work with Musk's office to review contracts and grants, and to reduce or modify them as necessary. The order also requires agencies to establish a system to track every payment made under contracts or grants, and to provide a written justification for each payment.

Furthermore, the order directs agency heads to work with Musk's office to establish a system to track approvals for travel and conferences funded by the federal budget, and to provide a written justification for non-essential travel and conferences.

This move is part of the Trump administration's efforts to reduce the size of the federal workforce and review agency budgets and programs. Trump has also directed federal agencies to develop plans to reduce staffing levels as part of efforts to reorganize the federal government.

The executive order is the latest in a series of moves by the Trump administration aimed at reducing government spending and improving efficiency. Musk's Government Efficiency Office has been tasked with identifying areas where the government can reduce waste and improve performance.
