Ramaswamy is the first Indian American to have been tapped by Trump into his administration beginning January 20 next year.
“Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies — essential to the ‘Save America’ Movement,” he said.
“This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in government waste, which is a lot of people!” stated Musk, as per the statement issued by Trump.
