Trump Taps Elon Musk to Spearhead New Efficiency Initiative in Government
Washington (AX) – In a surprising move, President-elect Donald Trump unveiled a fresh Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) and tapped entrepreneur Elon Musk, along with conservative leader Vivek Ramaswamy, to spearhead the organization’s mission to trim down federal expenses and slash bureaucratic red tape.
Aiming to usher in a wave of meaningful transformation across federal bodies, Trump remarked, “This new department is a powerful vehicle for transformative change,” vowing to pare down government and enhance its operations.
“I’ve got confidence that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will steer this monumental endeavor to overhaul our governance,” Trump added. “Their innovative business mindset promises to ignite enduring improvements.”
The president-elect stated that D.O.G.E will work in tandem with the White House and the Office of Management and Budget, dubbing the initiative as a “Modern Manhattan Project.” The venture aligns with longstanding Republican ambitions to create a smaller, more efficient government.
Musk, in his own words, showed eagerness for the task, emphasizing that the department would send a “shockwave” through the federal framework by cutting down on frivolous spending and inefficiencies.
The goal is to wrap up these reforms by July 4, 2026, perfectly timed to celebrate America’s 250th Independence Day – which Trump sees as the quintessential moment to unveil a “rejuvenated government” to its citizens.
