Elon Musk is now in charge of a new team called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). His first big job? The Department of Education. They want to save money, and so far, they have cut $1 billion from its budget!
Musk’s team decided to reduce spending in the Education Department by stopping some programs and contracts. For example, they canceled $101 million in grants that were for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. This move can help the Education Department focus on other important areas, especially under the new Trump administration.
Musk has been supported by Donald Trump, who believes it’s important to eliminate wasteful spending. Trump said no one should complain about efforts to cut costs in the government.
In summary, Elon Musk and his team have made strong choices to save a lot of money in education.
