Mar-a-Lago, FL – On November 12, 2024, President Donald J. Trump announced that renowned entrepreneur Elon Musk and American patriot Vivek Ramaswamy will jointly lead the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”). The department aims to dismantle government bureaucracy, eliminate excessive regulations, slash wasteful spending, and restructure federal agencies as part of Trump’s ongoing “Save America” movement.
In a statement, President Trump expressed his confidence that Musk and Ramaswamy would drive significant change within the federal government, with Musk emphasizing that the effort would “send shockwaves through the system” and target the wasteful government practices that have plagued the country for decades. Musk, known for his bold leadership in business, described the initiative as potentially “The Manhattan Project” of our time, referencing the ambitious goals of reform that have long been envisioned by conservative politicians.
The Department of Government Efficiency will work closely with the White House and the Office of Management & Budget to implement large-scale structural reforms and introduce a new, entrepreneurial approach to governance. Musk and Ramaswamy will bring their outside-the-box thinking to the table, providing fresh insights and guidance to improve efficiency across federal agencies.
President Trump highlighted that the department’s efforts will focus on reducing the government’s $6.5 trillion spending budget by eliminating waste and fraud, while fostering an environment where efficiency and accountability are prioritized. “They will work together to liberate our economy and make the U.S. Government accountable to ‘WE THE PEOPLE,’” Trump said.
The work of Musk and Ramaswamy is expected to be completed by July 4, 2026, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Trump believes that by then, a smaller, more efficient government will be a fitting gift to the American people on this historic occasion.
With a focus on reform and efficiency, the Department of Government Efficiency promises to be a transformative force in the Trump administration, driving forward bold changes that aim to reshape the federal government for the betterment of all Americans.
