Elon Musk and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy have been appointed by President-elect Donald Trump to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), a advisory body tasked with streamlining government functions and cutting unnecessary spending. Their goal is to transition workers from low-productivity government jobs into high-output roles in the private sector in order to strengthen the US economy. They plan to gather data, brainstorm solutions, and deliver recommendations to the Trump administration by July 4, 2026. Their focus will include regulatory relief and dismantling wasteful government spending. There are concerns about potential conflicts of interest given Elon Musk's political influence and his company SpaceX's reliance on federal contracts.
