Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters Thursday that he’s trying to schedule a meeting of House Republicans with Elon Musk soon to discuss the work of the Department of Government Efficiency.
Johnson, who met with Musk at the White House late Tuesday, said the billionaire adviser to President Donald Trump would “meet with either small groups of members, appropriators or maybe all the House Republicans,” likely next week or shortly thereafter.
“He’s anxious to share what he’s finding, and a lot of things he’s told me in our private meetings, I said we have to make sure all the members understand the degree of the fraud, waste, abuse, and how egregious it is,” Johnson said.
Separately, members of the Senate’s DOGE Caucus, a group lead by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), are meeting with Musk at the White House on Thursday. Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) also told Republicans during a closed-door GOP steering committee lunch on Wednesday that he is also working to set up a meeting for senators with Musk.
