President-elect Donald Trump could tap Silicon Valley companies to help eliminate government waste.
During a discussion with some of technology's most powerful chief executives—Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Apple's Tim Cook, Tesla's Elon Musk and Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg were among them—Trump asked the group if data analysis technology could be used to identify government waste, The New York Times reported. (That report cited unnamed corporate executives and a transition official who described the scene after reporters were asked to leave.)
