Elon Musk declares ‘it begins’ as DOGE gets govt checkmark on X despite not being an official department

Hindustan Times  

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Indian-American biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy have already expressed their excitement to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency under the Trump 2.0 government. Given that Elon Musk's DOGE is not a recognised government agency as of now, the gray checkmark might have violated X's regulations. On Tuesday, President-elect Donald Trump declared that Ramaswamy and Musk will co-head the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, informing that the new department would work to reduce spending and regulations. Musk and Ramaswamy, according to Trump, will “provide advice and guidance from outside the Government.” DOGE has an X account with 1 mn followers so far In less than two days after the announcement, the DOGE account on X displays the gray verified checkmark, which is utilized to determine accounts belonging to governments or multilateral organisations. Sharing the post on X, Musk wrote: “It begins.” Trump teases DOGE logo Following Trump announcement, Musk even teased the DOGE logo featuring a Shiba Inu dog on X.
