The choice of leaders, both prominent figures in the private sector, reflects Trump’s long-standing ambition to draw on the expertise of outsiders to enact deep, systemic reforms. Tesla CEO Musk, known for his innovation in electric vehicles and space exploration, joins Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur turned political firebrand, to embark on this ambitious undertaking. Their combined vision is expected to resonate far beyond Washington, introducing an “entrepreneurial approach” never before seen in government circles.
Musk, the world's wealthiest person, emerged as a crucial ally to Trump during the campaign, reportedly contributing over $100 million to support the Republican's bid and frequently promoting Trump's candidacy on X, the social media platform he owns.
