Trump Appoints Musk and Ramaswamy to Head Government Efficiency Department

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a new "Department of Government Efficiency," aimed at reducing federal spending and bureaucracy. The move, which aligns with Trump's "Save America" agenda, marks a departure from political norms and raises questions about potential conflicts of interest, given Musk's business ties to government-funded projects. The department's official status remains uncertain, as it would require congressional approval to become a formal government entity.
