Elon Musk says the Ministry of Government Efficiency’s actions will be online

Elon Musk, who was chosen by President-elect Donald Trump to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, gave some insight into how the department works on Tuesday on X.

Musk said the department will take suggestions and concerns from everyday Americans about how the government spends money.

“If the public thinks we’re cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know!” Musk said in part in the X post.

Musk also said that all of the department’s actions “will be published online for the greatest possible transparency.”

“We will also have a leaderboard for [the] The most insanely stupid expenditure of your tax dollars. “This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining,” he wrote.

In announcing the new department on Tuesday, Trump said its purpose would be to “cut government bureaucracy, eliminate excessive regulations, cut wasteful spending and restructure federal agencies.”

“DOGE” will advise and guide the administration by leveraging knowledge from outside the government and will work with the White House and the Office of Management and Budget to “advance comprehensive structural reforms.”

Musk and Ramaswamy, both successful entrepreneurs, insist on their desire to cut unnecessary spending to reduce the national debt of at least $35 trillion.

“This will send shockwaves through the system and everyone involved in government waste, which is a lot of people!” Musk said.

Ramswamy also said that he and Musk were “not going to go soft” shortly after Trump announced their new roles.
