Washington: President-elect Donald Trump appointed Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The department aims to reduce government bureaucracy, eliminate wasteful spending, and restructure federal agencies, aligning with Trump’s “Save America” agenda. Musk expressed his commitment to transparency and focusing on cutting unnecessary expenses.
The initiative draws inspiration from past efficiency efforts, including President Woodrow Wilson’s Bureau of Efficiency. Trump’s vision for DOGE is ambitious, with a goal to transform government operations by 2026, marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
