The elected President of the United States, Trump, stated that Musk will collaborate with American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk could hardly contain his excitement and frequently posted about it. He retweeted Trump's "appointment letter" and also commented on a fan's post saying "Let's go America." "Boom." "The Department of Government Efficiency, Dogecoin (also abbreviated as DOGE) will be very popular." "This is not a threat to democracy, but a threat to bureaucracy... People have no idea how much substantial impact this will generate!" His collaborator Ramaswamy responded to Trump's appointment using his previous campaign slogan “SHUT IT DOWN” (shut down American bureaucratic institutions), tagging Musk and stating “We won't hold back.”
