Vivek Ramaswamy has now been handed over the responsibility of cutting government expenses alongside Elon Musk in an all-new department known as 'DOGE-Department of Government Efficiency'. And the first thing that Ramaswamy and Musk are reportedly planning on doing is closing down the FBI that could cut off a majority of unchecked government expenses. He is also thinking of sacking nearly 1.5 million federal employees under his 'shut things down' strategy, which is already raising fear in the hearts and minds of federal workers across the country, according to a previous ET report.
