WASHINGTON—House Speaker Mike Johnson announced on Nov. 27 that he would host Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and biotechnology businessman Vivek Ramaswamy at the U.S. Capitol to discuss the activities of their new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), with Republican members of Congress.

The DOGE is an advisory body chartered by President-elect Donald Trump to advise his incoming administration on cost-cutting, deregulation, and reducing the size of the U.S. government.
