Donald Trump has indicated that he intends to appoint Elon Musk to head a newly created department of “government efficiency”, jointly with Republican businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
“Together, these two great Americans will chart the course for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excessive regulations, cut unnecessary spending, and restructure federal agencies,” the president-elect said in a statement, ensuring that these two allies in his campaign would “send shockwaves through the system.”

After years of “Dogemania”, the richest man in the world announced a space project supposed to be entirely financed in dogecoin: DOGE-1, a small satellite to be launched by his company SpaceX. Then he declared that this Dogecoin cryptocurrency could be used to buy certain Tesla products, and in 2023 he briefly used a Doge icon as the logo of Twitter, the social network that he bought and renamed X.
