Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to Lead New Government Efficiency Commission

President-elect Trump appoints Musk and Ramaswamy to advise on reducing government waste, sparking ethical concerns and mixed reactions.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is a commission announced by President-elect Trump, aimed at cutting government bureaucracy and spending.
Elon Musk, a major government contractor, and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the commission, raising ethical questions about potential conflicts of interest.
Critics argue that the commission lacks real power, as any significant budget cuts require Congressional approval.
Tesla's stock has surged following Musk's political involvement, though some employees express concerns about his divided focus.
Historical parallels are drawn with past government efficiency initiatives, yet skepticism remains about the commission's potential impact.
