Investing.com -- Aides of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, in collaboration with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), have initiated preliminary interviews with staff at more than a dozen federal agencies. This information was first reported by The Washington Post (NYSE:POST).
The federal agencies involved in these interviews include the Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service, Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs, and Health and Human Services.
DOGE, under the leadership of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, aims to reduce bureaucracy, streamline regulations, and reorganize agencies.
In pursuit of these goals, Musk and Ramaswamy have accelerated recruitment for DOGE. Over 50 employees have already begun working from the offices of SpaceX, a company owned by Musk.
By Trump's inauguration on January 20, DOGE plans to have nearly 100 staff members in place, as per the report.
