Elon Musk thinking of auditing US Federal Reserve calling for ‘greater scrutiny’

Live Mint  

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said he is thinking of auditing the US Federal Reserve, after calling for greater scrutiny of the central bank in the past. Musk's cost-cutting program under the Department of Government Efficiency has swept through federal agencies since Donald Trump began his second term as president last month. Musk's DOGE team has also cancelled contracts worth about $8.5 billion involving foreign aid, diversity training, and other initiatives that Trump has opposed. On Thursday, over 6,000 employees at the US Internal Revenue Service were told they would be fired, eliminating roughly 6 per cent of the agency's workforce in the midst of the busy tax-filing season.
