The newly established Department of Government Efficiency aka DOGE, spearheaded by Tesla CEO Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, is tasked with cutting $2 trillion from the federal budget.
Created under President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, DOGE is already gaining attention for its ambitious goals and high-profile supporters.
DOGE’s official account on X, formerly known as Twitter, recently invited interested individuals to apply for roles within the department. Key figures like Marc Andreessen and Travis Kalanick have reportedly contributed to its planning.
Several current and former lawmakers are also supporting the effort. Now, former U.S. Congressman Ron Paul has entered the conversation with a controversial proposal.
Ron Paul: Eliminate Foreign Aid
Paul has called on DOGE to eliminate foreign aid, describing it as an “immoral transfer of wealth.” In a post on X, he criticized the practice of reallocating funds from U.S. citizens to affluent individuals in foreign nations.
