Trump’s victory raised the question of whether Elon Musk would soon be appointed to lead a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the incoming Trump administration.

Trump has said he would bring Musk into his second administration to reduce government waste, prompting Musk to call the effort the “Department of Government Efficiency,” or DOGE, naming the department after the meme coin he has frequently promoted.
