Elon Musk has become the lone leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as his co-founder, Vivek Ramaswamy, steps down to pursue a gubernatorial campaign in Ohio. DOGE, an extra-governmental initiative, focuses on reducing government waste and restructuring federal agencies. Musk, known for his cost-cutting advocacy and ties to Dogecoin, takes the helm of DOGE, which has gained attention due to its association with the cryptocurrency and Musk's public endorsements, leading to price surges. In a related development, Trump issued an executive order pausing the hiring of federal civilian employees, with DOGE expected to play a crucial role in shaping recommendations. Operating outside official government channels, DOGE relies on private-sector experts and Republican allies in Congress to advance its proposals. Musk and Ramaswamy's ties to Silicon Valley and DOGE's connection to Dogecoin fandom have sparked interest, with some controversies emerging about its alignment with crypto meme culture.
