President-elect Donald Trump announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The department aims to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies. DOGE will provide advice and guidance from outside the government and partner with the White House and the Office of Management and Budget to drive large-scale efficiency and effectiveness within the federal government. Trump stated that DOGE could become the 'Manhattan Project' of our time, emphasizing the need to address the massive waste and fraud within the annual $6.5 trillion government spending. Musk and Ramaswamy will work together to pave the way for these significant changes.
