Ramaswamy and Musk Push for Federal Agency Overhaul and Accountability

Vivek Ramaswamy, co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Elon Musk, announced plans to recommend the closure of entire federal agencies as part of a major government restructuring under President-elect Donald Trump. While Ramaswamy did not specify which agencies might be targeted, he emphasized significant cuts to government staffing and contracting. However, implementing these changes would require congressional approval, posing a challenge given the current political landscape. Ramaswamy has previously advocated for eliminating agencies like the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the FBI.
