New Delhi: US President-elect Donald Trump has announced Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk will lead the ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ (DOGE) alongside American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies – Essential to the ‘Save America’ Movement,” Trump said in a statement.
Elon Musk Reacts
Right after Trump made the announcement, Musk responded to the post writing, “Department of Government Efficiency. The merch will be”
In another post, he wrote, “Threat to democracy? Nope, threat to BUREAUCRACY!!!”
Meanwhile, Ramaswamy tagging Musk in a post on X which read, “We Will Not Go Gently, @elonmusk.”
This comes as Donald Trump earlier in an interview in with Fox News in October first revealed his plans to appoint a “secretary of cost-cutting,” and also stated that he would defer to Musk when it comes to shutting down various agencies and essentially ‘trimming’ the government.
“I’m going to have Elon Musk — he is dying to do this. You know, he’s a great business guy, actually. You think of him for science and rockets. And every time I think he’s telling me about a new screw that was developed, he’s developed a new screw — screws are difficult — and it’s made out of titanium, and it’s so exciting. But you know what? He’s a great business guy, and he’s a great cost-cutter. You’ve seen that. And he said: I could cut costs without affecting anybody,” he said.
