Elon Musk Joins Trump to Lead Government Efficiency Drive

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have been appointed by Donald Trump to lead a new "Department of Government Efficiency" aimed at reducing government waste and inefficiency. The initiative, likened to a modern "Manhattan Project," faces skepticism in Washington due to its ambitious goals, such as Musk's proposal to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget. The project, which is not an official department, will function similarly to Reagan's Grace Commission, providing external advice on federal spending. Concerns about conflicts of interest and the feasibility of such sweeping reforms have been raised.
