President-elect Donald Trump continued to fill his administration at breakneck speed Tuesday night, tapping SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy would head up a new “Department of Government Efficiency.”

In a statement, Trump likened the effort to the Manhattan Project that produced the atomic bomb and quoted Musk as saying: “This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!”

“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 – Essential to the ‘Save America’ Movement,” Trump, 78, said in a statement.
