On November 14, billionaire Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump attended the annual event of the American Policy Institute at the Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Mr. Musk, who was recently appointed to co-head the Office of Government Efficiency (DOGE) of the incoming Trump administration, declared that his role was not just about business, but also a "revolution" for the United States. "This is not going to be business as usual. This is going to be a revolution," Mr. Musk told the event attendees at Mar-a-Lago. The statement emphasized Elon Musk's vision of a transformative change in the United States. Billionaire Musk's speech highlighted his commitment to reforming the government's efficiency and reducing red tape. He emphasized the need to innovate and streamline processes to promote the development of the United States. In his speech, Musk outlined plans for a new Office of Government Efficiency, which aims to cut unnecessary spending and boost private sector productivity. He also discussed the importance of deregulation in areas such as artificial intelligence, space exploration and electric vehicles, areas in which his companies have significant interests. On November 12, President-elect Donald Trump announced that billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the new Office of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Trump expects billionaire Elon, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, and billionaire Vivek to "make changes to the federal bureaucracy with the goal of efficiency and improving the lives of all Americans." "It is critical that we eliminate the massive waste and fraud that exists in our $6.5 trillion in annual government spending. Together, they will free up our economy and hold the American government accountable to the people," Trump said. DOGE is expected to provide guidance and work with the White House and US budget agencies to "push forward large-scale structural reforms and create an entrepreneurial approach to government like never before," Musk said. DOGE will be completely transparent and will report all its activities online, Musk said. "All Government Performance Board activities will be posted online for maximum transparency. Any time the public thinks we are cutting something that is important or not cutting something that is wasteful, let us know," Musk said. He also announced that he would create a “ranking board” to list the “least intelligent” ways taxpayers spend their money. In late October, Musk promised to save $2 trillion for American taxpayers if Trump won the election. At the time, the American billionaire said that taxpayers’ money was being wasted, and DOGE would solve that problem. Musk had previously warned about the US debt situation, saying that the country was at risk of bankruptcy if it did not curb its spending.
