Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, President Donald Trump’s choices to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), are starting a weekly podcast to discuss their efforts.
Ramaswamy announced the new effort in a video post to X on Wednesday.
“We want to bring the public along with us, to lift the curtain, to take us behind the scenes of what actually that waste, fraud, and abuse in government looks like,” Ramaswamy said in a video posted to X.
“However bad you think it is, it’s probably worse. But we don’t want to do this to just expose the problem. We want to do it to solve the problem,” he added.
Ramaswamy, who previously ran against Trump as a GOP presidential candidate, caught the attention of many Americans during his primary run before he eventually endorsed Trump and joined in his campaign.
Musk, who previously supported Democratic candidates, strongly endorsed Trump following an assassination attempt against him in July. He soon formed a super PAC that invested $200 million for Trump and other GOP candidates.
The two business leaders now plan to exert their expertise and influence to eliminate government waste in a two-year effort affectionately known as DOGE.
As RSBN reported on Thursday, the House Oversight Committee plans to create a subcommittee to root out government waste and lead President Donald Trump’s efficiency crusade.
According to Fox News, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer is expected to create a subcommittee to work alongside the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The efficiency panel created by Trump is headed up by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who will serve as outside volunteers and not federal officials.
The Hill reported that this efficiency panel will identify thousands of regulations for Trump to eliminate. The pair laid out their plans in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, writing, “The two of us will advise DOGE at every step to pursue three major kinds of reform: regulatory rescissions, administrative reductions, and cost savings.”
They also wrote, “We will focus particularly on driving change through executive action based on existing legislation rather than by passing new laws.”
