Trump Picks Musk To Run ‘Department Of Government Efficiency’

Trump Picks Musk To Run 'Department Of Government Efficiency'

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Elon Musk to head the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), aimed at reducing federal bureaucracy.

Musk, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla, will work alongside biotech investor Vivek Ramaswamy to advise the White House on government reform.

The Doge initiative—named after Musk’s favoured cryptocurrency, Dogecoin—seeks to overhaul federal agencies, cut unnecessary regulations, and eliminate wasteful spending.

This move follows Trump’s nomination of former Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defence, and John Ratcliffe, former Director of National Intelligence, to lead the CIA.

Ramaswamy, who endorsed Trump after his own presidential campaign ended, will support Musk in targeting inefficiencies across $6.5 trillion in annual government spending. Trump aims to complete these changes by July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of American independence, viewing it as a gift to the nation.

Musk recently called for $2 trillion in federal budget cuts and advocated for the closure of redundant agencies, though specifics are yet to be detailed.

Trump compared the initiative to the Manhattan Project, emphasising its ‘transformative potential.’ Following the announcement, Musk asserted on social media that the initiative targets excessive bureaucracy rather than democracy itself, singling a major shift in government structure under Trump’s administration.

Man Who Bought Pizza.com For $20 Sold It For $2.6 Million

Man Who Bought Pizza.com For $20 Sold It For $2.6 Million
Nov 13 2024 Share

Chris Clark, an American consultant, made headlines in 2008 when he sold the domain pizza.com for a staggering $2.6 million.

Clark originally registered the domain in 1994, during the early days of the internet, hoping it might help his consulting firm secure contracts with pizza companies.

Despite selling his business in 2000, he chose to keep the domain, paying the modest $20 annual renewal fee and using the site to host ads.

Years later, inspired by the news that vodka.com had sold for $3 million, Clark decided to see what pizza.com might fetch. In January 2008, he listed the domain in an online auction, quickly attracting attention.

Bidding started at $100 but surged rapidly, reaching $2.6 million within just one week. The sale, finalised during the height of the 2008 financial crisis, highlighted the exceptional value of a simple, memorable domain name.

Today, pizza.com remains largely unchanged, featuring a basic layout with advertisements and a message inviting inquiries about the domain’s purchase.

Reflecting on the sale, Clark expressed some regret at not registering more domains in the internet’s early days, yet the success of his venture into the digital space made an enduring mark on the domain market.
