Ramaswamy and Musk Team Up to Slash Federal Bureaucracy

Indian-origin entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and Tesla’s Elon Musk are leading a new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to “take a chainsaw” in the United States under President-elect Donald Trump. To note, the two are going to improve efficiency in how the government works, and reduce costs for unnecessary frills as well as raising the level of transparency. Announced at Trump’s Palm Beach palatial mansion, Mar-a-Lago, their daring strategy includes weekly meetings, and recruiting “small-government revolutionaries” to be equivalent to the ‘alt-right’ group as the Manhattan Project.

Ramaswamy and Elon Musk are therefore very clear about how they would like to see federal operations turned upside down, with what they call ‘mass deportations’ of unelected bureaucrats. Ramaswamy said that Musk practices the ideology of slashing through everything with a chainsaw, referring to the Argentine President, Javier Milei who has actively introduced austerity. The DOGE initiative that was launched by the federal agencies is supposed to reduce waste especially when redesigning the structure of federal organizations and also getting rid of unnecessary rules.  

However, Ramaswamy stood up for High Jack to bring America back to an innovative position and said government size should be according to the vision of the founders. Similarly to a modern Manhattan Project, the DOGE plans on putting together the brainiacs and providing a thin and more efficient government.  

For this reason, Musk and Ramaswamy declared the weekly addresses on X, Musk’s social media platform, to post updates on DOGE. The project is already hiring and looking for ‘super high IQ revolutionaries’ who support small government and can work more than 80 hours per week to eliminate inefficiency.  

As part of the application process, users need to message DOGE on X, which can be accessed only by subscribers to the service. Critics would say that DOGE’s cuts could jeopardize basic governmental services, however, Ramaswamy is confident in his ability to advance and improve Washington’s finances.
