President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday that billionaire Elon Musk and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy will head up a new temporary agency known as the Department of Government Efficiency.

Trump in a statement said the two "will pave the way for my istration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies - Essential to the 'Save America' Movement.

Trump seemed to suggest that Musk and Ramaswamy might not formally the government, explaining that the two would "provide advice and guidance from outside of Government, and will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget to drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before.

In his own statement, Musk said the new agency "will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!"

Trump, in his statement, set a deadline for their work, saying it would "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," Trump wrote. "I am confident they will succeed!"

The Trump campaign described the agency as "potentially, the 'Manhattan Project' of our time," referencing the secret World War II program that was involved in developing the atomic bomb.

Musk was a major part of Trump's reelection campaign effort, while Ramaswamy ran against Trump in the Republican primary before endorsing him.

The department's acronym, DOGE, is also a dog meme that inspired Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency promoted by Musk that was created as a joke and is credited with being the first meme coin.

Federal employees are generally required to disclose their assets and entanglements to ward off any potential conflicts of interest, and to divest significant holdings relating to their work. Because Musk and Ramaswamy would not be formal federal workers, they would not face those requirements or ethical limitations.

Musk has been a constant presence at Mar-a-Lago since Trump won the presidential election.

The president-elect has often said he would give Musk a formal role overseeing a group akin to a blue-ribbon commission that would recommend ways to slash spending and make the federal government more efficient. Musk at one point suggested he could find more than $2 trillion in savings — nearly a third of total annual government spending.

Trump had made clear that Musk would likely not hold any kind of full-time position, given his other commitments.

We need his brain not his body

Tinubu will Pick the best brain

We know he can't do it, since he is from our tribe let him be there for 8 years



I love Chief TOBECHUKWU Trump

Very good.
This is far from picking ballot box snachers to run govt to the detriment of the people.

I always knew Musk would hold key position(s) in this istration. He really worked hard for Trump, infact I credit him 20% for Trump's victory in this election.

Some credits go to:

Musk,
Vivek,
Charlie Kirk,
and Podcasts like
Joe Rogan,
PBD,
Candace Owens,

and most Importantly the stupidity of the WOKE LEFT

We thought Eri Mus will be Secretary of state

GOD BLESS DONALD JOHN TRUMP
GOD BLESS ELON MUSK
GOD BLESS AMERICA
GOD BLESS YORUBA LAND

Well, now we know why Elon Musk bought Twitter. I will not be surprised if Trump also has a stake in Twitter.

Elon co-leading with Vivek is great team; they have known businesses everyone knows.

If you're a genius, it's natural you'd like to work with like minds.
But if you're a political Baltasar, naturally you'd work with political bolekejas to float the naira, triple poverty rate, Dangotelize Nigerians, and then set a record in bigotry while keeping people like Reno, Bwala and Okupe close to attack opposing voices.

T pain own nah to pick agbero and mad men to head unit

meritocracy, something the Yoruba tribe will never understand, all they and ibos know is tribalism

Though the ibo haven't yet gotten power so i cant fairly judge them
