Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s big plan to rip out ‘$2 trillion’ worth of waste under Trump

Donald Trump has hit the ground running, wasting no time getting his cabinet ready before officially taking office next year.

And today a high profile appointment was made, with Trump announcing Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will be heading up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

placing intelligent people in charge, what a concept.

An American of Indian origin and an American from South Africa would drain the swamp. Both are successful entrepreneurs and billionaires so they can't be bought. What a time to be alive!

It's wild how Australian news covers the US better than the news in our own country.

Did Trump just name a whole government department after a meme?

Losing 2020 election showed him who to trust and what to do. Great lesson from the loss.

This is exactly what Australians needs aswell

Two smart people with high IQ, what a concept! Let's

If they pull this off, how can anyone ever be against them or this administration.

Once Elon Musk's XAI33x passes $1, it may NEVER see that low again

Start with department of education and then dismantle state media like NPR or VOA.

This is exactly what America needs cut government jobs and spending.

Dear Elon,

Please abolish the ATF. True government waste right there.

I hit $113k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started last month 2024. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject.

I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years in another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded under Trump. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with my Tracy Britt Cool Consulting my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.

Just appointing 2 people, thats Govt efficiency right there.
