        Republican Marjorie
        Taylor Greene said on Thursday she will chair a U.S. House of
        Representatives panel on government efficiency, working with
        billionaire Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in their effort to
        streamline the U.S. government.
        
        Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, and
        Ramaswamy, a former Republican presidential candidate and
        biotech executive, were tasked by President-elect Donald Trump
        with creating a panel of outside advisers to make
        recommendations on how to reduce the size of federal workforce
        and slash regulations.
        
        Greene's government efficiency subcommittee was created by
        House Oversight Committee chair James Comer to work with Musk
        and Ramaswamy.
        
        "I'm thrilled to announce I'll be chairing a brand new
        subcommittee to work hand-in-hand with @ElonMusk and
        @VivekGRamaswamy," Greene wrote on X.
        
        Trump, Musk and Ramaswamy have touted ambitious claims
        about the panel's ability to transform the U.S. government and
        the effort has received widespread publicity and interest in how
        it will operate.
        
        But details have been sparse. On Wednesday, Musk and
        Ramaswamy wrote an opinion piece saying they will use recent
        U.S. Supreme Court rulings to take power away from federal
        agencies and reduce regulations.
        
        Trump has said the two will issue reports, and the new panel
        said it wants to bring on "high IQ" staff and hold weekly
        livestreams.
