AJ has info.
Of particular interest, but not news as Trump ran on the idea, AJ again:
United States President-elect Donald Trump has named tech magnate Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy as his picks to lead the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a new body he plans to establish once he returns to the White House.
“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,” Trump said in a statement on Tuesday.

“Importantly, we will drive out the massive waste and fraud which exists throughout our annual $6.5 Trillion Dollars of Government Spending.”
Trump added that, under his plan, Musk and Ramaswamy would conclude their work by July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the signing of the US Declaration of Independence.
“A smaller Government, with more efficiency and less bureaucracy, will be the perfect gift to America,” Trump said.
The item continues, so again, the AJ link.
One may recall Trump disowned parenting of Haritage's Project 2025, so hey, neither Musk, nor Vivek have P2025 ties, and who fills out the purge-the-ranks operation beyond Elon as figurehead and Vivek as leader, or perhaps figurehead too since Vivek has his own private sector adventures going, with a yet to be named sub-leader (who may have P2025 ties). Still, he said he'd do it, and is. So far with a non-P2025 figleaf in place.
We live in interesting times. Mike Lee at DOJ is a forecast and it could be a lot worse. That will be a front burner concern.
