Trump announces Elon Musk’s cabinet position

President-elect Donald Trump has officially tapped Elon Musk to ‘dismantle’ $6.5 trillion of bloated bureaucracy by fronting the newly created ‘Department of Government Efficiency.’

 

Trump made the bombshell announcement Tuesday night saying Musk will co-lead the ‘Manhattan Project of our time’ with former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

 

‘This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!’ Musk said in a statement.

 

Republicans have long complained about government over-spending and Trump touted that DOGE will accomplish its goals by July 4, 2026.

 

‘A smaller Government, with more efficiency and less bureaucracy, will be the perfect gift to America on the 250th Anniversary of The Declaration of Independence,’ Trump said in the statement. ‘I am confident they will succeed!’

Musk and Ramaswamy have become some of Trump’s top allies in the tech bro community.

 

Musk officially endorsed Trump on the heels of the July 13 assassination attempt on the Republican at his Butler, Pennsylvania rally.

 

The SpaceX, X and Tesla head joined Trump on the campaign trail on October 5 when the now president-elect returned to the Butler venue – memorably jumping around onstage.

 

He put his money where his mouth was – offering a $1 million award each day to registered voters in battleground states.

 

Musk was with Trump and his family members at their election night shindig at Mar-a-Lago and has since been seen in meetings with the president-elect as he figures out who’s in his Cabinet.

 

Ramaswamy is a Yale Law-educated entrepreneur who started Roivant Sciences Ltd. a decade ago, which uses technology to aid drug development and other healthcare needs.

 

He wrote a popular book on the right: Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam.

Ramaswamy started out the 2024 election cycle by running for president himself – though stayed complimentary of the ex-president.

 

Unlike candidates like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and former Rep. Will Hurd, who were decidedly anti-Trump in the 2024 Republican primary, Ramaswamy touted the 78-year-old’s accomplishments in office.

 

When Trump appeared to be the runaway favorite ahead of the early primaries, Ramaswamy never turned on the former president, like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Amb. Nikki Haley, allowing him to have a comfortable place to land in the Trump 2.0 White House.

 

Ramaswamy came in fourth place in the Iowa caucuses, suspending his campaign immediately afterward and endorsing Trump.

 

Both Musk and Ramaswamy are billionaires – but Musk’s net worth is estimated to be 304 billion and Ramaswamy is worth only one billion dollars.

 

‘Republican politicians have dreamed about the objectives of “DOGE” for a very long time,’ Trump said. ‘To drive this kind of drastic change, the Department of Government Efficiency will provide advice and guidance from outside of Government, and will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget to drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before.’

 

Musk responded to the news by posting to X: ‘The merch will be’ and then typed out three fire emojis.
