The owner of X will work in collaboration with businessman Vivek Ramaswamy
US President-elect Donald Trump has appointed billionaire Elon Musk, owner of X, Tesla and SpaceX, to lead the Department of Government Efficiency in his second term, which begins on January 20, 2025.
According to the Republican tycoon, the “great Musk” will work in collaboration with the American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who made his fortune in the biotechnology and finance sector and denies the climate crisis.
“Together, these two wonderful Americans will lead the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, reduce excessive regulations, cut wasteful spending and restructure federal agencies,” Trump said on his social media site, Truth.
“It could be the ‘Manhattan Project’ of our era,” the president-elect added, referring to the secret US project to develop the first atomic bomb.
“To drive this kind of dramatic change, the department will provide advice and guidance from outside government and work with the White House to drive large-scale structural reforms and create a never-before-seen entrepreneurial approach. I look forward to Elon and Vivek make changes to the federal bureaucracy,” the Republican said.
According to Trump, the work of the two candidates will end “by July 4, 2026.” “It will be the perfect gift to America on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence,” he noted.
Musk was one of the main supporters of the tycoon’s campaign, but his arrival in government raises a series of questions about potential conflicts of interest.
The billionaire’s companies have large contracts with the US administration, especially in the aerospace field, and their activities are subject to federal regulations, such as Tesla’s development of autonomous cars. .
