Elon is being Elon as only he can do. Finally we begin.
A couple excerpt for you.
Key Facts
Musk, alongside fellow billionaire and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the “DOGE” bureau, Trump announced Wednesday, with the name an apparent nod to the “doge” dog meme often referenced by Musk.
Despite its name, the billionaire-led commission is not proposed as an official government agency, but rather an advisory board which will “provide advice and guidance from outside of Government,” wrote Trump, who set forth the department’s primary objectives are to “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures and restructure Federal Agencies.”
Trump said the commission will wrap by July 4, 2026, though Musk posted Wednesday on his X social media platform he expects to be “done much faster.”
Details are scant on how exactly DOGE will operate, and it’s unclear how much funding the commission itself would receive, but recent social media posts and campaign trail fodder provide some insight.
Ramaswamy called Wednesday for a “massive downsizing,” while Musk backed a roughly 75% reduction in the amount of U.S. federal agencies,” though any widesweeping funding changes would need to get approval from Congress.
The department’s official X account went live Wednesday with the aptly named @DOGE handle. “Working overtime to ensure your tax dollars will be spent wisely!,” read the account’s first ever post.
In an appearance last week on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, Musk said he hopes to “curtail [government] agencies to be much smaller” and to only “stick to what Congress authorized,” also calling for massive severance packages for government employees impacted by a potential purge (“a couple years of pay”) and predicting “America’s toast” if the government doesn’t reduce spending.
In a Thursday morning X post, the commission requested individuals to apply to join the group. “We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting,” the department said, calling for interested applicants to send their resumes directly to DOGE via direct message on X.
