American entrepreneur Elon Musk, after US President-elect Donald Trump announced that he and Vivek Ramaswamy would head the new Department of Government Effectiveness, promised to create and publish a ranking of the craziest tax expenditures by Americans. He announced this on his social media page X.
“Whenever the public thinks we're cutting something important or not cutting something unnecessary, just let us know!” he said. According to him, this rating will be both extremely tragic and extremely funny. Earlier, Trump announced that Musk and Ramaswami would lead the new US Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE) to pave the way for dismantling government bureaucracy, cutting wasteful spending and restructuring federal agencies. The department's name is a reference to cryptocurrency, of which Musk is a proponent.
