Multimillionaire Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will head the Department of Government Operations (DOGE), announced by President-elect Donald Trump on November 12.
According to The Guardian, Trump has elected Musk and Ramaswamy to lead an agency called the Department of Government Administration (DOGE).
“Now, these two large states will complete the path for my administration to dismantle the gubernal bureaucracy, reduce excessive regulations, reduce unnecessary gas and restructure the federal agencies,” Trump said.
Shortening the gubernamental burden and advancing the most efficient gubernamental operations is what Mr. Trump and multi-millionaire Elon Musk were promoting during the electoral campaign.
The multimillionaire Musk is driving the creation of a Department of Government Operations, haciing in the agency’s acronym, Doge, a reference to a popular meme that presents a Shiba Inu dog. Doge is also the abbreviation of Musk’s favorite cryptocurrency (Dogecoin).
It is not clear whether Doge will be an official member of Trump’s new administration or will advise the White House in a non-gubernamental capacity. According to NPR, it is not possible to create an official agency in the government of United States without a law of Congress.
The Department of Gubernamental Effectiveness will bring to its head “a financial audit to desempeño de todo the federal government and will have solid recommendations for reform,” Trump said. “The Department of Gubernamental Effectiveness will also return to the advice and orientation of the outside government and will work with the White House and the Office of Administration and the requirement to push forward a broad-based reform and create an unprecedented emphasis on government,” Trump said .
The announcement of Ramaswamy’s new roles, and in particular Musk, as leaders of companies with contracts in force with the European government, raises questions about possible conflicts of interest. And let it be clear how the unity will function, which according to Trump will “offer advice and guidance from outside the government”.
Trump had previously proposed the creation of a “Commission on Government Policy” as part of a list of new economic plans that he announced in early September. At this time, I said that Musk had agreed to lead the committee if the former US president was elected.
Trump’s declaration was echoed by Musk’s statement that the new agency would “secure the whole system that is wrapped up in the gubernamental government’s removal, which is a lot of people.”
Last month, multi-millionaire Musk announced his goal of getting 2 billion dollars in government revenue if he would join Trump’s new administration.
Musk will be joined by Ramaswamy, a wealthy biotechnology entrepreneur who ran in the Republican primaries but later withdrew.
Earlier this week, Ramaswamy told ABC News that he was “having discussions” about a paper in Trump’s cabinet.
Like multi-millionaire Musk, Ramaswamy does not have government experience, but he does have experience in driving cost savings in the corporate sector.
After buying a stake in the online media company Buzzfeed, which was in difficulty, Ramaswamy joined the company to reduce staff and meet conservative commentators like Tucker Carlson.
After it was assumed that he was elected to co-direct the new agency, Mr. Ramaswamy published in the social circles a publication with the slogans “CIERRENLO”, an slogan that he used repeatedly during his presidential campaign to advocate for the abolition of the agencies federals.
