Vivek Ramaswamy Vows That Entire Government Agencies Will Be ‘Deleted’ On His and Elon Musk’s Watch

 

Vivek Ramaswamy, co-head of the newly-created Department of Government Efficiency, vowed Sunday that entire government agencies will be “deleted.”

In an interview with Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures, Ramaswamy laid out the agenda that he and Elon Musk will be carrying out leading the new agency.

“Over the last 40 years, even conservatives, we’ve talked a big game for 40 years about cutting the federal government, about reducing the scope of the federal government,” Ramaswamy said. “Politicians haven’t been able to do it. And so Elon and I, we’re not politicians. We’re businessmen. We’re coming at it from the outside. Sometimes if you go inside, you become native to the system.”

“Are you going to be closing down departments?” Bartiromo asked.

“We expect mass reductions,” Ramaswamy replied. “We expect certain agencies to be deleted outright. We expect mass reductions in force in areas of the federal government that are bloated. We expect massive cuts of all federal contractors and others who are overbilling the federal government. So, yes, we expect all of the above.”
