It’s official, President-elect Donald Trump has tapped his billionaire bestie/lizard man Elon Musk and former Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a new ‘Department of Government Efficiency’.
In a statement released today, Trump said that the Musk-Ramaswamy effort would “provide advice and guidance from outside of Government”. It will work in tandem with the White House and its Office of Management & Budget “to drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before”, whatever that means.
Trump likened this new initiative to the Manhattan Project. You know, that little thing that gave us the atomic bomb. Spooky indeed.
“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,” Trump said.
“This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!” Musk said in the statement released by the transition team.
To the concern of many, Trump has been slowly appointing his cabinet members and official supports since winning the election — including Kristi Noem who once shot one of her own puppies for killing her livestock.
Musk celebrated the news of his position by posting on X: “Threat to democracy? Nope, threat to BUREAUCRACY!!!”
Musk is also planning to make his doings as transparent as possible. I guess maybe people can try new things.
“All actions of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency,” Musk said on X.
“We will also have a leaderboard for most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining.”
Incidentally, the name of the agency can be shorted to DOGE… just like the crypto currency Musk has significant ties to
Trump has not yet revealed how this new department will be funded.
