Billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are looking for "super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries" willing to work long hours to join their cost-cutting commission.

The vanity agency the billionaire oligarch is getting from Trump probably won’t accomplish much beyond giving him and partner Vivek Ramaswamy more of what they desperately crave—attention.

The department wouldn't be a department at all, but an outside group that can likely only make suggestions — unless Trump tries to axe current laws.

Musk—the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, and owner of X (formerly Twitter)—was quoted in Trump's announcement as saying that DOGE "will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!"

President-elect Donald Trump has officially announced that fellow billionaire Elon Musk will head a new U.S. Department of Government Efficiency ("DOGE") under his administration. Musk may not be eligible to run for president, but it seems he'll still get to make decisions as part of the incoming U.S. government.

These two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies,” said Donald Trump in a statement.

Elon Musk’s DOGE will advise on gutting federal departments and which staff should be fired if it deems they are a ‘massive waste’

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will join forces to lead a newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (or DOGE, for short), President-elect Donald Trump announced. But what will the department do?
