Trump's cabinet ready to take back power with Musk stepping back, sources say

As Elon Musk steps back from running Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), U.S. cabinet members may seek to curtail its influence over budgets and staffing once he reduces his time commitment to Tesla. DOGE has been tasked with shrinking the federal workforce and cutting deficits through mass firings, contract cancellations, and reduced services, but Musk's decision to cut his involvement could signal a potential shift in control over the agency’s operations, leaving questions about its future under Trump's administration.
