Vivek Ramaswamy announced on Thursday that he and Elon Musk will be leading a new Department of Government Efficiency, with plans to initiate 'mass deportations' of bureaucrats in Washington, DC. This decision comes after President-elect Donald Trump appointed Ramaswamy and Musk to head the department, aiming to streamline government operations and reduce inefficiencies.
In a statement, Trump expressed his confidence in Ramaswamy and Musk, highlighting their roles in dismantling government bureaucracy, cutting regulations, reducing wasteful spending, and restructuring federal agencies. The President-elect emphasized that these efforts are crucial for enhancing government efficiency and promoting fiscal responsibility.
Ramaswamy expressed gratitude to Trump for entrusting him and Musk with the task of removing millions of unelected federal bureaucrats from the DC bureaucracy. He emphasized that this initiative is essential for the country's well-being and economic prosperity.
Trump is scheduled to address the America First Policy Institute gala at the Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida, where he is expected to discuss the administration's priorities and initiatives for promoting America-first policies.
