President-elect Donald Trump plans to launch the Department of Government Efficiency as one of his first executive orders. Tech mogul Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will head the department, aiming to reduce government bureaucracy, regulations, and waste.
WASHINGTON - One of the first executive orders President-elect Donald Trump plans to sign as president will be aimed at establishing the Department of Government Efficiency, Semafor reported on Monday citing a fact sheet. The department's work will include updating federal software systems to private-sector standards, with the work being slated to begin with a focus on modernizing information technology across the government, Semafor said.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy have been charged with leading the department. Trump has said Musk and Ramaswamy will offer proposals to reduce government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut waste and restructure federal agencies, although the panel will hold no actual authority under federal law. The department will oversee a substantial reduction in the size and scope of government and operate within the U.S. government, Semafor reported citing the fact sheet. DOGE will work with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to implement these changes. The department is expected to be a significant part of Trump's agenda, as he has made reducing government spending and size a key campaign promise
