In the “What the fact?” from “L'heure humaine”, journalist Luc Brisson returns, Wednesday November 13, to the appointment of Elon Musk as co-director of a ministry of “Government Efficiency” in the future Trump administration, and to the role of this ministry.
Donald Trump announced on the evening of Tuesday, November 12 that Elon Musk “will co-lead the Ministry of Government Effectiveness” in his future administration. Named “Department of Government Efficiency”, this ministry has the acronym “DOGE”, which does not come from nowhere, as explained by journalist Luc Brisson, journalist with the “true or false” unit.
