“The Manhattan Project” Of Our Time: Musk And Vivek Ramaswamy To Head Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) [Video]

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have been selected by President-elect Donald Trump to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where they will “slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies,” according to an official release from the Trump-Vance transition team, which called this “potentially, the “Manhattan Project” of our time.”

According to the statement, “Their work will conclude no later than July 4, 2026” – the nation’s 250th anniversary.

Musk previously predicted he could cut at least $2 trillion from the US federal budget, while Ramaswamy suggested firing federal workers based on their social security numbers.

“Here’s how: if your [Social Security number] ends in an odd number, you’re fired,” he wrote on X.

On Day 1, *instantly* fire 50% of federal bureaucrats.

Here’s how: if your SSN ends in an odd number, you’re fired.

That downsizes government by half. Absolutely *nothing* will break as a result.

It doesn’t violate civil service rules because mass layoffs are exempt.

SHUT IT…
