Washington lobbyists are targeting Musk's' DOGE 'department to influence Trump

BlockBeats News: On January 20th, according to Bloomberg, a lobbying army that has long roamed Congress and federal agencies is targeting a new target: a shadow federal department controlled by Musk. This plan, led by Musk, is called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and aims to provide recommendations to President elect Trump on spending cuts and regulatory reforms. So far, its members have organized and coordinated in secret meetings located several blocks near the White House. Companies and industry groups have begun to turn their attention to DOGE, rather than traditional congressional committees and federal agencies, to drive agendas and protect interests. The urgency to establish contact with Musk's team highlights how special interest groups see this billionaire as a shortcut to Trump, a way to prioritize their issues. This also indicates that an entity that appears to aim to break traditional political models is rapidly becoming a target for senior lobbying agencies in Washington.
