President-elect Donald Trump has announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to “dismantle government bureaucracy.”

Tesla CEO Musk and entrepreneur Ramaswamy will “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies – Essential to the ‘Save America’ movement,” said Trump in a post on Truth Social.

According to Trump, the objectives of DOGE have been dreamed of by Republicans for a “very long time.”

The aim of the new agency is to provide advice and guidance outside of the US government, and to work with the White House and the Office of Management and Budget as they “drive out the massive waste and fraud” within the $6.5 trillion federal budget.

Per the statement, Trump said that their work will finish no later than July 4, 2026.

In a post on X, Musk said all actions of DOGE “will be posted online for maximum transparency.”
