President-elect Donald Trump has announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) within the former President's second administration.Pres.-elect Donald Trump has announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the former US president's second administration.
Within Trump's statement, the President-elect claims DOGE will "dismantle Government Bureaucracy" and "become, potentially, "The Manhattan Project" of our time." The statement also notes that DOGE's work will end "no later" than July 4, 2026.Trump said that DOGE will "dismantle Government Bureaucracy" and "provide advice and guidance from outside of Government," adding Musk's and Ramaswamy's work will end "no later" than July 4, 2026.
Musk is the owner of X, the founder of companies such as SpaceX and Tesla, and was a donor to the Trump campaign; Ramaswamy, a biotech investor, ran for the Republican presidential candidacy before dropping out and endorsing the former President in January.Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter) and founder of SpaceX and Tesla, donated millions of dollars to the Trump campaign, while Ramaswamy, a biotech investor, ran for the Republican presidential candidacy before dropping out and endorsing Trump in January.
The jobs of Musk, Ramaswamy, and Hegseth's jobs are clear: to break the establishment status quo, disrupt the political norms that have damaged America, and to deliver a federal government that truly acts on behalf of the people. For far too long, the swamp of bureaucratic red tape and an entrenched belief in forever wars hashave benefited the interests of the few rather than the many. With these appointments like these, Trump's administrationwill is destined to be a breath of fresh air and will finally jolt the country back in the right direction.
Underneath the irony of Trump's decision to place two individuals in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency lies deep concern over the appointments made by the President-pres.-elect. While Musk may have been demoted to a joint job that won't exist in 18 months, there are serious questions over whether placing government contractors in charge of federal spending oversight is at all legalquestionable. Alongside the appointment of a Fox host lacking any seriousprofound political experience as secretary of defense, it doesdoesn't not take a genius to predict that the Trump administration will soon begin to unravel.
