Breaking news: US President-elect Donald Trump has announced that Elon Musk will co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), with a focus on streamlining government bureaucracy, slashing regulations, and cutting wasteful expenditures. This move is seen as an attempt to implement significant reforms within the federal government.
The DOGE department, which takes its name from Elon Musk's favorite cryptocurrency, will not be an official government agency but rather a partnership between the White House and Office of Management & Budget. The work of DOGE will conclude by July 4th, 2026.
