Donald Trump, who is rapidly continuing his preparations for the second presidential term, announced the formation of cabinet members in the new term. It was interesting to know what position Elon Musk, the person who supported Trump the most during the election period, would perform.
He appointed Elon Musk as a minister
In his statement about the said appointment, Trump said that Musk and Ramaswamy will head the ministry known by the abbreviation "DOGE". Trump said Musk and Ramaswamy will work to eliminate government bureaucracy, reduce excessive regulation, cut wasteful spending and restructure federal agencies.
The "Manhattan Project" drew attention
Trump said that this project will be the "Manhattan Project" of the era and that Republican politicians have long desired to realize the "DOGE" goals.
It will work with the White House and the Office of Management and Budget
Trump said the Department of Government Efficiency will provide advice and guidance from outside the government, focus on broad structural reforms, and work with the White House and the Office of Management and Budget to bring an unprecedented entrepreneurial approach to government.
"I'm looking forward to the changes"
"I look forward to Elon and Vivek making changes to the federal bureaucracy to improve efficiency and provide a better life for all Americans," said Donald Trump.
Trump emphasized that they will eliminate the huge waste and fraud in the annual government spending of 6.5 trillion dollars, and said that Musk and Ramaswamy will work together to free the US economy and make the government accountable to the people.
Trump said the work would be completed by July 4, 2026 at the latest, and that on the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, they would present a more efficient, smaller government with less bureaucracy as a "gift" to the country.
Musk, whose views were included in the statement, said, "This will create shock waves in the system and among those who allow government waste."
