<p>Trump’s plan gives Musk and Ramaswamy a unique, external advisory role, bypassing Senate approval and formal government positions. Instead, the two will collaborate closely with the White House and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to drive large-scale reforms.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump emphasized that the pair’s influence from outside government will create an “entrepreneurial approach never seen before.” Musk noted that DOGE aims to “send shockwaves through the system” and target individuals tied to government waste.</p>
<p>Musk and Ramaswamy’s appointments reward two high-profile Trump supporters who contributed significantly to his<a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/nydigs-cipolaro-calls-bitcoin-exposure-following-election-shift/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> election </a>campaign. Musk’s advocacy for efficiency aligns with his cost-cutting measures at Twitter, now X, where he famously reduced staff and streamlined operations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump has long discussed this government efficiency initiative, promising in September that it could save trillions by eliminating fraud and improper payments. Experts, however, doubt that such ambitious cuts are achievable, with critics warning that deeper reductions would require targeting core programs like Medicare and defense.</p>
