Elon Musk and DOGE: the Department of Government Efficiency

Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy are set to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a new U.S. government initiative aimed at reducing the federal budget deficit. DOGE, which shares an acronym with Musk's favorite cryptocurrency, Dogecoin, will focus on cutting regulations, reducing wasteful spending, and restructuring federal agencies. While the project's specifics are still unclear, it is expected to operate until July 4, 2026. Despite not being an official government department, DOGE will work outside the traditional system and will not receive government funding. Musk and Ramaswamy, along with other tech leaders, plan to streamline government operations by providing cost-cutting recommendations to Congress. The initiative has garnered support from GOP lawmakers, forming the Congressional Delivering Outstanding Government Efficiency (DOGE) Caucus. Musk and Ramaswamy's efforts have gained momentum, with plans for a podcast and ongoing discussions with lawmakers to implement their cost-cutting proposals.
