Musk and Ramaswamy Propose Ending Daylight Saving Time Under Trump's DoGE Initiative

Dec 3, 2024, 09:43 PM

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who will be advising Donald Trump's incoming administration, are reportedly considering ending daylight saving time in the U.S. as part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DoGE) initiative. The proposal aims to eliminate the semiannual clock changes, which they have described as 'annoying' and 'inefficient.' This move is part of a broader effort to streamline government operations, reflecting a desire to make American governance more efficient. The initiative has garnered attention from various stakeholders, including Senator Tommy Tuberville, who supports making daylight saving time permanent. Congressional action would be required to enact this change.
