Abstract

The article discusses how Washington lobbyists are turning to Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to influence President-elect Donald Trump's policies. The DOGE, despite lacking formal responsibilities or authority, has attracted the attention of companies and industry groups seeking to advance their agendas through Musk's influence. The lobbying efforts towards the DOGE highlight the unique position Musk holds in Washington, with various interests ranging from defense contractors to healthcare and broadband internet providers seeking to engage with the initiative. The ethical implications of Musk's involvement in government decision-making processes, given his business interests and potential conflicts of interest, are also raised in the article.
