Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are leading a new U.S. government initiative called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aimed at lowering the federal budget deficit. The initiative aims to cut wasteful expenditures and restructure federal agencies, but some details remain unclear. It is not an official U.S.
government department, will likely not receive government funds, and its ability to directly control U.S. government agency budgets will be minimal. The initiative will be active until July 4, 2026, and leaders aim to streamline the U.S. government by issuing reports that provide advice and guidance on trimming government regulations and spending.
The initiative’s success will be shared through weekly livestreams.
