The newly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump has kept to his long-time campaign promise to create the first United States Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and to appoint tech billionaire Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy as the first Heads of the department.
President Trump made this known on Tuesday in a statement on his social media page on X and Truth. The president-elect pointed out that the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency is to combat bureaucracy and cut down the excessive spending of government funds.
DOGE which is an acronym for Elon Musk’s favorite cryptocurrency “DOGECOIN”. The SpaceX founder has been at the forefront of calling for down the excessive spending budget of the Biden/Harris administration.
President Trump revealed that both Elon Musk and Rivek Ramaswamy will work as an advisory length and will not be officially part of any government department.
The Department Of Government Efficiency is aimed at overhauling federal operations to cut down wasteful spending and also improving the financial performance of the government.
President Trump further emphasized that this department would work on reforming and streamlining government processes, and the goal of the Department is to conclude its responsibilities by July 4, 2026.
Elon Musk, who played a significant role in the successful re-election of President Trump donated millions of dollars during the campaign period and was very vocal in his support of Donald Trump using his social media platform X as an integral tool to enhance the campaign sanitization of the American voters.
President Trump himself sketched up a plan for Elon Musk in his government to help with cost-cutting on the campaign trail. He said Musk and Ramaswamy would work with the White House and Office of Management & Budget to tackle “massive waste and fraud” in $6.5 trillion dollars of annual government spending.
Vivek Ramaswamy, who ran against Donald Trump during the Republic presidential debate, decided to abandon his presidential campaign and throw his support behind President Trump. Vivek said that the reason for his actions was that he strongly believed in the policies of Donald Trump and he was very confident that he was the man who was right to lead the country.
The department does not currently exist and, when created, it is not expected to be an official department. However, such agencies like the Department of Government Efficiency have to be established through an act of Congress and will demand the employment of thousands of people.
