President-elect Donald J. Trump has recruited Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a new initiative called the Department of Government Efficiency, aiming for drastic changes across the federal bureaucracy by July 4, 2026.
Musk indicated intentions to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget, but specifics about how this would be achieved or which programs may face cuts remain unclear, raising questions about the feasibility of their goals.
The initiative, labeled a Manhattan Project of this era by Trump, suggests significant reductions in federal workforce and spending, yet lacks clarity in execution strategy and departmental structure.
In his statement, Trump expressed confidence in Musk and Ramaswamy, framing a smaller, more efficient government as a 'gift to America' for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
