Donald Trump has appointed two more prominent political figures to his second administration on Tuesday, naming Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as co-leads on his newly instated Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Newsonspot reports that the institution is tasked with slashing wasteful spending and reducing federal bureaucracy by 2026. Trump describes the project as a pivotal shift in federal governance, aiming for greater accountability and efficiency.
“President Trump in a statement on Tuesday read:
“I am pleased to announced that the Great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”). 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 – Essential to the “Save America” Movement,” Trump said in a statement.
“I look forward to Elon and Vivek making changes to the Federal Bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all Americans. Importantly, we will drive out the massive waste and fraud which exists throughout our annual $6.5 Trillion Dollars of Government Spending. They will work together to liberate our Economy, and make the US Government accountable to “WE THE PEOPLE.” Their work will conclude no later than July 4, 2026 – A smaller Government, with more efficiency and less bureaucracy, will be the perfect gift to America on the 250th Anniversary of The Declaration of Independence. I am confident they will succeed!.”
