In the private sector, if you’re not doing a good job, you get fired. But for some reason, in government, bad employees—whether they’re failing to do the job they were hired to do or working in roles that are no longer needed—never get fired,” Greene said. “This is incredibly unfair to the hard-working taxpayers of our country, and it’s about to change. I can’t wait to get to work!!” she added. WATCH: I come from a business background and have successfully run a construction company my entire adult life.

The “DOGE” initials recall an internet meme and a related cryptocurrency that Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has frequently touted. Trump’s announcement specified that the group will not be an official department of the government, but rather will provide “advice and guidance” to the White House and the Office of Management and Budget. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Wednesday, Musk and Ramaswamy lamented that “most government enforcement decisions and discretionary expenditures aren’t made by the democratically elected president or even his political appointees but by millions of unelected, unappointed civil servants.” Musk and Ramaswamy, who are also unelected, said they “will advise DOGE at every step to pursue three major kinds of reform: regulatory rescissions, administrative reductions and cost savings.” Greene currently sits on Oversight’s Subcommittee on Government Operations and the Federal Workforce, among other panels.
