President-elect Trump announced the new department, shortened to DOGE, in a statement on Tuesday.
President-elect Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that his second administration will create the Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
Trump, who won a second term in the White House last week, in a statement on Truth Social said that the department “will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies.”
“I look forward to Elon and Vivek making changes to the Federal Bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all Americans”, Trump added.
Details of the new department, which Trump abbreviated as DOGE, are fairly unknown. Trump said in his statement that the department will not be a federal agency but will provide guidance “outside of government” by partnering with the White House and Office of Management and Budget “to drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before.
