SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy co-authored a Nov. 20 op-ed article on the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that they will lead in the second Trump administration starting next year.

The article appeared in the Wall Street Journal and outlined their ambitious goals for DOGE, which include rolling back government spending, slashing regulations, and removing wasteful federal agencies. President-elect Donald Trump appointed the two billionaires to the project that will act in an advisory capacity to the White House and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
