Musk and Trump Team Up for a Meme-Driven Government Revamp

Elon Musk has been appointed to lead the newly created "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) by the Trump transition team, aiming to reduce U.S. government bureaucracy and waste. Musk plans to involve the public through a virtual suggestion box and a leaderboard highlighting wasteful spending. The initiative, likened to a modern "Manhattan Project," seeks to address the national debt by cutting excessive federal expenditure, with a goal to conclude by July 4, 2026. The coordination with existing bodies like the Government Accountability Office remains unclear.
