The Department of Government Efficiency was originally envisioned as a joint Elon Musk–Vivek Ramaswamy mission outside the federal government. Now it is all Elon—and he is inside.

Musk’s vision for DOGE—along with his relentless, 24/7 online promotion of its goals—has quickly won out in President Trump’s first days in office, as Ramaswamy has decamped for his home state of Ohio to announce next week a planned bid for governor in 2026, and the DOGE operation has been installed inside the new president’s administration. Musk has been working this week from a West Wing office, according to a person familiar with the situation.
