    Title is misleading, it's not actually a department because it's not in government. It's essentially a committee of external consultants.

      Musk's companies receive significant government money.

        And they provide disproportionate value compared to their competitors. Which is why people want Musk to be the "efficiency czar".

          The value is irrelevant. It's a conflict of interests for a citizen to be the CEO of a government contractor and work for the government, especially in a role that may have sway over how the government spends it's money. I'd go even further and say it's corruption.

          Musk wants to cut spending and immigration but not for H1Bs

            Wouldn't approved H1B by definition fall into the desired legal skilled immigrant category?

              In practice H1Bs are borderline wage slavery.

                Hey now. It’s only indentured servitude

                  A lot of Americans would be pretty happy with “wage slavery” that pays 80k a year.
