Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk are now becoming the poster boys of instilling fear in the hearts of federal employees after their new department plans on putting an end to FBI itself, laying down millions of federal workers to cut down government expenses.

Vivek Ramaswamy has now been handed over the responsibility of cutting government expenses alongside Elon Musk in an all-new department known as 'DOGE-Department of Government Efficiency'.

And the first thing that Ramaswamy and Musk are reportedly planning on doing is closing down the FBI that could cut off a majority of unchecked government expenses. He is also thinking of sacking nearly 1.5 million federal employees under his 'shut things down' strategy, which is already raising fear in the hearts and minds of federal workers across the country, according to a previous ET report.

Ramaswamy will now have the power to shape the priorities of the new department and it will operate outside of government and provide recommendations to the White House on huge chunks of expenses from the multi-trillion dollar federal budget. This Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE was actually the brainchild of Elon Musk, the billionaire who has become one of Trump’s closest aides throughout the Presidential campaign, and has been constantly rooting for the idea of a cost-cutting commission on the campaign trail.

Trump has stated that he wants to do away with the Department of Education, and leave states in control of education and schooling. Among his other top agenda, he wants to decimate his own theory of a 'deep state', where federal employees are clandestinely pursuing their own agendas, spending tons of public money for that purpose.
