Regarding Musk’s new position, Trump announced that DOGE will carry out a ‘complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government, and making recommendations for drastic reforms’.

In a statement, Musk said: “This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!”

The department will not operate full-time and will conclude on July 4, 2026, marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence’s signing.

Trump stated that a more effective government will be a ‘benefit’ to the nation on that day.

During a rally, the president-elect addressed Musk’s involvement, stating:

“I don’t think I can get him full-time because he’s a little bit busy sending rockets up and all the things he does.

“He said the waste in this country is crazy. And we’re going to get Elon Musk to be our cost-cutter.”
