Elon Musk says the Department of Government Efficiency’s actions will take place online

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

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

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

Musk also said that all of the department’s actions “will be posted online for maximum transparency.”

“We will also have a scoreboard for (the) most outrageously stupid use of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining,” he wrote.

In announcing the new department Tuesday, Trump said it will aim to “dismantle government bureaucracy, eliminate redundant regulations, reduce wasteful spending and restructure federal agencies.”

‘DOGE’ will advise and guide the administration by drawing on knowledge from outside the government and will work with the White House and the Office of Management and Budget to “achieve major structural reforms.”

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

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

Ramswamy also said he and Musk “will not go softly” shortly after Trump announced their new roles.
