Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under US-President elect Donald Trump's administration is already making waves. Headed by tech billionaire Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, DOGE aims to cut wasteful government spending and eliminate excessive regulations by the 250th anniversary of the United States.
Musk, now Trump's closest ally, has warned Republicans against standing in Donald Trump’s way – or his, reports news agency AP. Musk, who recently visited Capitol Hill with Ramaswamy, the two issued a warning to Republicans who do not go along with their plans to slash spending as part of the president-elect’s proposed DOGE.

Just days after Trump claimed a resounding victory in the US-Presidential election defeating Kamala Harris, the billionaire responded to a report that he might fund challengers to GOP House members who don't support Trump's nominees. “How else? There is no other way,” Musk wrote on X, which he rebranded after purchasing Twitter and moving to boost conservative voices, including his own.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene revealed that Musk and Ramaswamy spoke about creating “naughty and nice” lists to monitor Congress members’ actions. “Elon and Vivek talked about having a naughty list and a nice list for members of Congress and senators and how we vote and how we’re spending the American people’s money,” Greene said, as reported by news agency AP.
