Former President Donald Trump recently praised Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy for their roles in a new cost-cutting initiative. “Elon Musk is a great guy. We have him and Vivek and some great people working on a thing called costs. He’s got the credibility to do it too. We’re going to do things that are really amazing,” Trump said.
The initiative, known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aims to reduce federal spending and streamline government operations. Musk and Ramaswamy have been tasked with identifying areas of waste and inefficiency within the government, with the goal of saving billions of dollars.
The announcement has generated significant interest and debate, with some praising the effort to cut costs and others expressing concerns about the potential impact on essential services.
