President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), with a focus on examining funding for non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Ramaswamy expressed the need to scrutinize U.S. government funding of NGOs, citing it as a misuse of taxpayer dollars. He emphasized the importance of transparency regarding foreign aid and nonprofit groups involved in the country's border crisis.
Musk echoed these sentiments, agreeing that NGOs often serve as government mouthpieces and should be eliminated. He emphasized the lack of checks and balances in NGO operations, which can lead to censorship and promotion of government agendas.
