Washington: Elon Musk, who is soon to be a part of the Donald Trump government, has revealed his first move or thoughts on how American taxpayers money should be spent wisely.

A tweet shared on social media X by ELON FACTS ‘D.O.G.E on Nov 13 comes with an interesting caption that says, “If a government official is effective in spending your money, they should be rewarded. If they waste your money, they should be fired.” 

This post has been retweeted by Elon Musk himself, saying, ‘Incentives matter. There should be rewards for wise spending, but those who waste taxpayer funds cannot be allowed to keep doing so without consequences.’ 

In his social media post, Elon Musk looks confident and shares his thoughts on how taxpayer money should be well channelled by the government, failing which the government should be fired.

Elon Musk DOGE Viral Post

Elon Musk's ‘D.O.G.E.’ social media post on ‘Incentives matter’ and ‘wastage of taxpayer funds’ is now going viral on social media with over 1.3 million views and counting. 

Netizen's React on Elon Musk's DOGE Viral Post

As Elon Musk's post goes viral on social media, netizens in the comment section are sharing their own thoughts, with one user saying, ‘DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY WILL BRING BACK THE GREATNESS OF THE USA!!.’

One more user wrote, ‘Department of Government Efficiency is the solution to government overspending!!.’ Another user wrote, ‘Absolutely! Accountability and rewards are the magic ingredients for a thriving system!.’

According to many, Elon Musk has hit the right spot raising the issue of national tax payers. In a political and public spending system, the absence of consequences for wasting taxpayer funds not only perpetuates inefficiency but also discourages responsible and wise governance.

Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy to be Part of Trump Government

US President-elect Donald Trump has announced that Tesla owner Elon Musk and Indian American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, aimed at improving governance and curbing wasteful expenditures.

Trump has also given them a deadline of July 4, 2026, the 250th Anniversary of The Declaration of Independence.

“I am pleased to announce that the Great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE),” Trump announced late on Tuesday.

Ramaswamy, 37, is the first Indian American to have been tapped by Trump into his administration beginning January 20 next year. His parents migrated to the US from Kerala and worked at a General Electric plant in Ohio.

“I look forward to Elon and Vivek making changes to the federal bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all Americans. Importantly, we will drive out the massive waste and fraud which exists throughout our annual USD 6.5 trillion of government spending,” said the president-elect.

“Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies -- essential to the 'Save America' movement,” he said.
