Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, the recently announced co-leader of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), teased plans for « mass reductions » in the federal workforce and to eliminate entire agencies.
Entire federal agencies will be “deleted” under President-elect Donald Trump’s so-called Department of Government efficiency, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy pledged.
Ramaswamy, the co-leader of DOGE along with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, teased plans for “mass reductions” in the federal workforce and said the group will make recommendations on “a real-time basis.”
“We expect mass reductions,” the biotech entrepreneur told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.
“We expect certain agencies to be deleted outright,” Ramaswamy, 39, said. “We expect mass reductions in force in areas of the federal government that are bloated.
“We expect massive cuts among federal contractors and others who are overbilling the federal government,” he continued. “I think people will be surprised by, I think, how quickly we’re able to move.”
During his 2024 bid in the Republican primary, Ramaswamy had frequently talked about taking a sledgehammer to the administrative state, including a plan to fire federal workers if their Social Security number ended in an odd number.
Trump, 78, formally announced DOGE last week and explained that it would conclude its work by July 4, 2026.
