He richest man in the world will share with the businessman and former candidate for the Republican nomination Vivek Ramaswamy the direction of this new department. As Trump has announced, his main task will be to promote “major structural reforms” that could “have strong implications for the federal government.”
“Together, these two great Americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle the government bureaucracy, reduce excess regulations, reduce unnecessary spending, and restructure federal agencies,” the former president emphasized.
Both Musk, who donated more than $118 million Trump’s campaign, like Ramaswamy, has advocated cuts in the federal government, which could include staff cuts.
In a statement shared on his social networks, Musk expressed his enthusiasm for leading this new body, in which he will work with Ramaswamy to “dismantle bureaucracy”, “reduce regulation” and eliminate of ‘waste’ in government expenditure. This designation is, in Musk’s own words, intended “shake the system”.
Musk joins names already confirmed to join the presidential Cabinet, such as Susie Wiles, who will be his White House chief of staff, and Tom Homan, who will be responsible for immigration policy.
