The appointment of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, two loyal Trump allies, to reform the federal bureaucracy with a focus on efficiency raises concerns among many experts, who fear significant cuts in government staffing and services.

Donald Trump announced that this department would be unofficial, however, specifying that it “will not be a federal agency of the U.S. government”, but that it would provide advice and guidance aimed at driving structural reform of the government.

Following this announcement, Elon Musk quickly took to his social network X to clarify that all decisions and actions of this new Department of Government Efficiency, would be published on X to ensure maximum transparency.

Elon Musk said it would be both deeply tragic and particularly entertaining, noting that he intended to poke fun at the most absurd tax-funded expenditures, with a ranking to back it up.
