Department for efficiency

Donald Trump, the President-elect of the United States, is not basically a complete politician. He does not speak in the style of a tactical politician. The logic of a businessman stands out in Trump. While politicians talk more and act minimally, businessmen speak less but act more. However, upon ensuring his victory in the presidential race, Trump went on to announce that he would stop all ongoing wars in the world. Trump is definitely a leader who can end the Ukraine war. However, even Trump might find it difficult to force Israel to back off from the war in Gaza. This war must also come to an end to make America "Great" again.

Elon Musk, one of the richest men in the world, had extensively campaigned for Donald Trump ahead of the presidential polls. This was a huge "risk" as far as a businessman is concerned. Had the Democratic candidate won the election, Musk would have faced a series of setbacks. Musk loves taking risks and achieving success. Space travel, Starlink, Tesla, and Dogecoin are all evidence of this. Musk has achieved breakthroughs in space that even NASA and Boeing couldn’t accomplish. Naturally, he might have shared details of how he managed this with Trump. He might have also pointed out that one of the main reasons for the failure of many projects was the limitations of government systems.

To enhance the efficiency of government systems and agencies in the United States, Trump has created the Department of Government Efficiency and appointed Musk and Indian-origin Vivek Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur, to lead it. Beyond reducing government expenses, this department will study and implement the best ways to improve the efficiency of the government. Government systems generally follow a slow journey without causing major disruptions. In the USA, its speed might be slightly higher. Whereas in India, it's slower. However, if this system is not reformed periodically, it will not contribute to making the nation greater.

Even if a task can be done in a minute, government agencies in the US, too, follow the conventional method, taking the usual time. Trump's insight suggests that the country can't move forward without changing this. Trump believes that two remarkably talented Americans, working together, will help his administration streamline federal agencies by cutting excessive regulations and halting wasteful spending, which he sees as crucial for the 'Save America' movement. He stated that together, they would root out waste and fraud within the government. Modi should establish a similar department in India as well.
