BREAKING: Donald Trump Appoints Elon Musk To Head Department of Government Efficiency With “DOGE” Initiative—–Donald Trump, the President-elect of the United States, has appointed Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and owner of Tesla, SpaceX, and X, to co-lead a new Department of Government Efficiency.
Musk will share the role with Vivek Ramaswamy, a former Republican presidential candidate and founder of a pharmaceutical company.
Trump made the announcement on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, outlining that the department would focus on cutting government bureaucracy, slashing regulations, reducing wasteful expenditures, and restructuring federal agencies.
The goal of the new department, which will operate outside the traditional bounds of government, is to bring an entrepreneurial approach to governance.
The appointments will not require Senate approval, allowing Musk and Ramaswamy to maintain their roles at Tesla, X, and SpaceX.
The department will collaborate with the White House and the Office of Management and Budget to push forward large-scale structural reforms by July 4, 2026, marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Musk, who played a significant role in supporting Trump’s election campaign, has long been a supporter of the former president.
The new role is expected to provide Musk with further influence, potentially benefiting his business ventures, particularly in sectors like artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency.
