US President-elect Donald Trump has announced a bold new initiative aimed at reforming federal governance. Renowned entrepreneur Elon Musk and Indian American businessman Vivek Ramaswamy have been tapped to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a strategic task force designed to streamline government operations and minimize wasteful spending.

The duo has been charged with delivering significant results by July 4, 2026, coinciding with the 250th Anniversary of The Declaration of Independence. The initiative reflects Trump's commitment to reducing federal bureaucracy and fostering a more efficient government in line with the 'Save America' movement.

Ramaswamy, the first Indian American appointed by Trump, expressed eagerness to engage the public in identifying government inefficiencies, while Musk anticipated significant disruption in the current system. Trump's initiative has been likened to a modern-day Manhattan Project, emphasizing its potential scale and impact on government reform.
