President-elect Donald Trump has appointed billionaire Elon Musk and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to head the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency.
The duo will collaborate to streamline government bureaucracy, reduce regulations, eliminate unnecessary spending, and reorganize federal agencies, according to Trump.
“It will become, potentially, ‘The Manhattan Project’ of our time,” the announcement on Tuesday evening said. “Republican politicians have dreamed about the objectives of ‘DOGE’ for a very long time.”
Trump also said that Elon Musk and Ramaswamy will provide “advice and guidance from outside of Government, and will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget to drive large-scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before.”
According to him, the agency will be focused on creating a more efficient U.S. government that looks to make life better for all Americans.
“Importantly, we will drive out the massive waste and fraud which exists throughout our annual $6.5 Trillion Dollars of Government Spending.
“They will work together to liberate our Economy, and make the U.S. Government accountable to ‘WE THE PEOPLE’”, Trump added.
