Tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy previewed the “sweeping change” he and fellow billionaire Elon Musk will be making to the United States government, which they will do together through the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency.
Ramaswamy explained that both he and Musk are businessmen, not politicians, allowing them to rework the system from “the outside” as they aim to make “quick wins” in the first few months of President-elect Donald Trump’s administration. He added that they will lay the work for Congress to continue D.O.G.E.’s work in the future. He added that while members of Congress are only focused on what they can achieve within two years, D.O.G.E. is focused on the next 250 years, which is why “deep cuts” are needed within the nation.
“We expect mass reductions, we expect certain agencies to be deleted outright,” Ramaswamy said on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. “We expect mass reductions enforced in areas of the federal government that are bloated; we expect massive cuts of federal contractors and others who are overbilling the federal government, so, yes, we expect all of the above. And I think people will be surprised by, I think, how quickly we’re able to move with some of those changes given the legal backdrop the Supreme Court has given us.”
