Elon Musk defended the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), asserting that neither he nor Vivek Ramaswamy would receive payment for their leadership roles. Musk emphasized that the department’s mission is to streamline government operations and eliminate waste, ultimately benefiting the American public.
Musk’s comments came in response to a sarcastic tweet by Senator Elizabeth Warren, who questioned the “efficiency” of appointing two people to “do the work of one.” Musk dismissed the criticism, reaffirming that their roles in DOGE would be voluntary.
