Vivek Ramaswamy, who co-directs the U.S. Department of Efficiency with Musk, posted on X that the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) he plans to create will be disbanded on July 4, 2026, as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. He quoted Reagan’s famous quote, emphasizing the durability of government institutions, but said DOGE would be an exception.
