Trump Appoints Musk and Ramaswamy to Lead DOGE, Seeking High-IQ Volunteers to Cut Federal Spending
Nov 17, 2024, 03:56 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), tasked with streamlining government operations and cutting federal spending. The panel plans to livestream weekly updates and has launched a new X account to post announcements and recruit volunteers. DOGE aims to reduce bureaucracy, eliminate waste, and may involve significant reductions in federal agencies, including the potential deletion of entire agencies. Initial targets may include financial regulators like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). DOGE is seeking "super high-IQ, small-government revolutionaries" willing to work 80+ hours per week on cost-cutting initiatives, possibly without pay.
