Collins says she's ‘impressed’ after first meeting with Elon Musk
Sen. Susan Collins, the top Republican on the Senate Appropriations Committee, had a private meeting with Elon Musk on Thursday to discuss federal spending. Musk’s meeting in Collins' office is one in a series across both the House and the Senate on Thursday as he and Vivek Ramaswamy visit Capitol Hill to launch their cost-cutting venture, the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. “I was very impressed with his energy and dedication,” Collins told reporters. She described the meeting as “an informal one-on-one discussion” that lasted more than an hour. She said the conversation focused on “how we could improve the efficiency and effectiveness of government to better serve the American people and to save taxpayer dollars.” “We did not go through any kind of list of cuts or anything like that," Collins added.
