Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have launched a new initiative called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with the aim of implementing significant budget cuts within the U.S. government.

The initiative is looking to recruit individuals with high IQs who support small government to help streamline operations and reduce costs.

Musk has proposed a massive $2 trillion reduction in the federal budget, but critics are concerned that this could have a negative impact on essential government functions and potentially lead to an economic recession.

The former President Donald Trump has set an ambitious timeline of less than two years for DOGE to achieve its goals.

However, there are doubts about the capacity of this small advisory body to bring about meaningful change.

The unconventional name of the initiative, inspired by a joke cryptocurrency, has also raised skepticism about its objectives and feasibility.
