The United States Department, led by Elon Musk and aimed at reducing government spending and streamlining regulations, launched its official website today, January 21. Next to the name is the logo of the famous meme coin Dogecoin, a dollar symbol, and the slogan: "the people voted for major reforms."
This move is linked to the fact that the head of the division, a longtime Dogecoin enthusiast and billionaire who supports Trump, Elon Musk, is now reportedly managing operations single-handedly. The former co-leader, biotechnology entrepreneur and crypto activist Vivek Ramaswamy, appears to be planning to run for governor of Ohio next year.
Trump selected them to manage DOGE after his victory in the presidential election in November.
"Together, these two remarkable Americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, reduce excessive regulations, eliminate wasteful spending, and restructure federal agencies," Trump wrote in his announcement at that time.
