President-Elect Donald Trump has appointed Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk to lead the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Ramaswamy highlighted the potential for significant cost savings through executive action, targeting unauthorized spending and inefficiencies within the executive branch.
Ramaswamy emphasized the need to address waste, fraud, and abuse in entitlement programs, aiming to streamline government operations and reduce unnecessary expenses. Musk and Ramaswamy also pledged to focus on enhancing the effectiveness of defense spending rather than simply increasing budgets.
