its likely to be an external "advisory board" controlled by elon musk that does literally nothing for 2 years before being disbanded after costing the government a few million or more

If it's being called the "Department of Government Efficiency," that means its going to be internal to the executive branch, get a Secretary on the President's cabinet (Musk? I was expecting him to be Secretary of Transportation or Secretary of Energy) who is in the line of succession for the Presidency, and become an item on Congress' budget every year.

But in fact you'll find this is fricking exactly the fricking problem: next to social security, medicare and defense spending, virtually everything else the fricking US government does is a fricking rounding error.
The only fricking places to cut to get the fricking kind of money they claim they're going to save are fricking exactly the fricking places they're forbidden to touch.

This but I wouldn't even bother naming defense spending, that's barely more than a rounding error too

If they make it less expensive without reducing care it can work for example banning soda/junkfood from snap can easily reduce a few percentage points worth of medical expenses

maybe generously you could set up some kinds of virtuous cycles that would feedback to big numbers
But I still don't think they'll get anywhere near the trillions they claim.

its probably going to be an external advisor body to a federal agency or maybe the executive branch, like one of the science advisory boards or business groups that advise defence industry
by law everything they do including meetings notes and finances will have to be made public
otherwise Elon and Vivek and all their hires will have to become a federal employee
