Trump Appoints Musk and Ramaswamy to Lead New Government Efficiency Department

Donald Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a new "department of government efficiency" aimed at reducing bureaucracy, regulations, and government spending. The initiative, dubbed "Doge," will work with the Office of Management and Budget until July 4, 2026. Musk, a strong Trump supporter, and Ramaswamy, a former Republican primary candidate, will provide external advice to streamline government operations. This move is part of Trump's broader efforts to shape his next administration, including other high-profile appointments.
