After President-elect Donald Trump announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the Department of Government Efficiency, an effort to root out government waste, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., criticized Trump’s decision and suggested he appoint two people had been asked to carry out the task of one person.

“The Office of Government Efficiency is off to a great start with split leadership: two people doing one person’s job,” Warren said in a post on X, adding sarcastically, “Yes, this seems REALLY efficient.”

Musk and Ramaswamy “will pave the way for my administration to dismantle the government bureaucracy, eliminate redundant regulations, reduce wasteful spending and restructure federal agencies,” Trump said in a statement.

Trump noted that the team, nicknamed “DOGE,” will “provide advice and guidance from outside the government, and work with the White House and the Office of Management & Budget to achieve large-scale structural reforms and an entrepreneurial approach to government to create those never seen before.”

Musk invited the public to share their thoughts on what should and shouldn’t be cut.

“All actions of the government’s Ministry of Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency. Anytime the public thinks we’re cutting back on something important or cutting back on something wasteful, let us know! We will also have a leaderboard for the most outrageously stupid releases of This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining,” he tweeted.

Ramaswamy dropped his bid for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination and endorsed Trump in January.

“DOGE will soon begin crowdsourcing examples of government waste, fraud and abuse. Americans voted for drastic government reform and they deserve to be part of its solution,” he tweeted.

Warren also criticized Trump’s decision to tap Pete Hegseth for defense secretary, claiming he was not qualified for the role.

“A co-host of a Fox & Friends weekend is not qualified to be Secretary of Defense. I lead the Senate military personnel panel. All three of my brothers served in uniform. I respect all our soldiers. The choice of Donald Trump will make us less safe and must be rejected,” she stated in a message on X.

Hegseth is an author and Army veteran who has earned two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman’s Badge, according to his website.

His last day at Fox was Tuesday.

Trump said in a statement that Hegseth “will be a courageous and patriotic champion of our ‘Peace through Strength’ policy.”
