Trump Unveils Plan for Revolutionary Department of Government Efficiency
Washington D.C., November 12 - In a bold move post-election, US President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, alongside entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, as leaders of the newly established "Department of Government Efficiency" (D.O.G.E.). The ambitious department aims to revolutionize federal operations by cutting down on wasteful spending and bureaucratic red tape.
As part of a comprehensive overhaul, D.O.G.E. is set to slash outdated regulations and promote private-sector efficiency in federal operations, targeting a reduction of $6.5 trillion in annual spending. Trump's transition team emphasized the need for a fresh, entrepreneurial approach to running the government, stating that the department's formation will "send shockwaves through the system."
Musk, known for his innovative ventures, pledged to put an end to inefficiencies and deliver transformative change. In a recent statement, Musk remarked, "This is a 'Manhattan Project' scale initiative," highlighting the magnitude of the task ahead.
The D.O.G.E team's mission parallels Trump's vision to modernize government processes through Silicon Valley-style disruption. The department will closely collaborate with external advisors and partner with major federal bodies like the Office of Management and Budget to leverage private sector efficiency expertize in high-level positions.
With an ambitious July 4, 2026 deadline coinciding with America's 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Musk and Ramaswamy are up against a challenging timeline. Trump expressed unwavering confidence in their ability to effectuate a systemic change that aligns the US government more closely with its citizens.
"We will make the U.S. Government accountable to WE THE PEOPLE," said Trump. This bold move is expected to reshape American governance, transforming the way public policy and administration are run.
