In a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy laid out their vision for the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that they will head within the Trump White House. They don’t yet have details (part of the plan involves identifying personnel, and then inefficiencies). But the vision has a three-part approach: “regulatory recissions, administrative reductions, and cost savings.”
