Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared his vision for full transparency within the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on his social media platform X on Tuesday, declaring that “All actions of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency.”
Emphasizing the importance of public input, Musk encouraged people to give feedback on spending decisions. He wrote:
Anytime the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know!
The billionaire further unveiled: “We will also have a leaderboard for most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining.”
Musk’s statements followed his appointment by President-elect Donald Trump to lead DOGE alongside entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Tasked with reducing federal bureaucracy and eliminating wasteful spending, Musk has set a target of cutting at least $2 trillion from the government’s $6.75 trillion annual budget. Speaking at a recent Madison Square Garden rally, Musk explained that all government spending impacts taxpayers, either directly through taxes or indirectly through inflation. “We’re going to get the government off your back and out of your pocketbook,” he told the crowd.
President-elect Trump positioned DOGE as a key element of his “Save America” initiative, describing it as a transformative approach to government reform. Trump expressed confidence in Musk and Ramaswamy’s strategy, which includes a comprehensive audit of federal operations to remove waste and boost efficiency. Musk, looking ahead optimistically, predicted: “America’s not just going to be great. America is going to reach heights that it has never seen before. The future is going to be amazing.”
The Tesla CEO has repeatedly voiced concerns about unchecked government spending and inflation, warning that excessive spending could burden Americans with indirect taxes through inflation. He has also cautioned that rising national debt may put the U.S. economy at risk, emphasizing the need for urgent fiscal reform to prevent long-term instability.
