The original person saying they wanted to cut 90% of the Federal Government was Vivek Ramaswamy.

He had many bold platform positions, but that was one of the most notable and memorable.

After Vivek dropped out of the race and endorsed President Trump, the mantle was later taken up by Elon Musk.

I LOVE Elon Musk and I think he’s one of the great corporate “cutters” of all time, famously coming in and cutting a TON of dead weight at Twitter.

But I kept asking along the way: What about Vivek?

And today those questions are answered, as President Trump has very wisely just announced that DOGE (the Department of Government Efficiency) will be lead by Elon and Vivek together!

WHAT A DREAM COME TRUE!

Here is the full announcement from President Trump himself:

I think it’s a brilliant move for so many different reasons…

First, because they’re both extremely passionate about it.

Why pick one when you can get them both?

Second, there is much to do.

Likely far too much for any one person, so let these two wild men get in there and tag-team it.

Third, both are tremendous Alpha Dogs and don’t really need a teammate as they have both demonstrated quite clearly thus far in life, but it doesn’t hurt to have someone they can each turn to.  I imagine as one finds something that works well, they’ll share it with the other, and vice-versa.

Fourth, Elon has already half-joked about needing to increase his security, as this job will make him a target for assassination.

It’s not a joke.

But I think having two people in there will defer some of that, and in the event someone does get a crazy idea, they may be deterred if they realize killing only one of them will not stop what is coming.

NCSWIC.

So I love it!

Collin Rugg shares more details:

BREAKING: Donald Trump announces that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) together.

“Together, these two wonderful Americans 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.”

“It will become, potentially, “The Manhattan Project” of our time. Republican politicians have dreamed about the objectives of “DOGE” for a very long time. To drive this kind of drastic change, the Department of Government Efficiency will provide advice and guidance from outside of Government, and will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget to drive large-scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before.”

“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.”

“Importantly, we will drive out the massive waste and fraud which exists throughout our annual $6.5 Trillion Dollars of Government Spending.”

“They will work together to liberate our Economy, and make the U.S. Government accountable to “WE THE PEOPLE.” Their work will conclude no later than July 4, 2026 – A smaller Government, with more efficiency and less bureaucracy, will be the perfect gift to America on the 250th Anniversary of The Declaration of Independence. I am confident they will succeed!”

Vivek has already Tweeted at Elon, who reposted his Tweet:

And Elon is already making DOGE jokes:

We are truly entering America’s golden age….and I can’t wait!

Let’s Go!!
