“Over the last 40 years, even conservatives, we’ve talked a big game for 40 years about cutting the federal government, about reducing the scope of the federal government.
“Politicians haven’t been able to do it. And so Elon and I, we’re not politicians. We’re businessmen. We’re coming at it from the outside. Sometimes if you go inside, you become native to the system.
“We expect mass reductions. We expect certain agencies to be deleted outright. We expect mass reductions in force in areas of the federal government that are bloated.
“We expect massive cuts of all federal contractors and others who are overbilling the federal government. So, yes, we expect all of the above.” – Vivek Ramaswamy, Musk’s partner in the unofficial “DOGE” commission.
