US President-Elect Donald Trump has appointed Elon Musk, chief executive officer (CEO) of Tesla and SpaceX, to lead a soon to be established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Musk, owner of X, the microblogging platform previously
known as Twitter, was an avid supporter of Trump during the electioneering
leading up to the November 5 presidential election.
The former president defeated Vice-President Kamala Harris
after securing more than 270 of the electoral college votes required to win the
poll.
A statement on Tuesday said Musk would run DOGE alongside Vivek Ramaswamy, a politician and entrepreneur.
It said the duo “will pave the way for my Administration to
dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful
expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies Essential to the ‘Save America’
Movement’.
“I look forward to Elon and Vivek making changes to the
Federal Bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making
life better for all Americans,” the statement quoted the president-elect as
saying.
“Importantly, we will drive out the massive waste and fraud
which exists throughout our annual $6.5 Trillion Dollars of Government
Spending.”
Trump will take office for a second and final term on
January 25, 2025.
