Elon Musk said Sunday during a victory rally for President-elect Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., that now was the time to make “significant changes” that would set the stage for centuries of American strength.
Musk made the comments after he was introduced by Trump in front of thousands of supporters at the Capital One Arena in D.C. Musk was a strong backer of Trump during the 2024 campaign and has been tasked with running an initiative called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“We’re looking forward to making a lot of changes, and this victory is the start,” Musk said. “What matters going forward is to actually make significant changes, cement those changes, and set the foundation for America to be strong for a century, for centuries, forever.”
Musk was joined on stage by his 4-year-old son X, who Musk described as “a very enthusiastic supporter” of Trump.
Shortly after he won the election, Trump announced that Musk would be heading up DOGE, to help cut federal government waste.
“I am pleased to announce that the Great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency,” Trump said in a statement. “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.”
“To drive this kind of drastic change, the Department of Government Efficiency will provide advice and guidance from outside of Government, and will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget to drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before,” Trump added.
There have now been some reports that Ramaswamy will step away from DOGE in the coming weeks to focus on a run for Ohio governor.

With DOGE, Musk hopes to cut the annual federal budget by $2 trillion and to slash regulations to free the American economy from onerous or duplicitous rules.
Other speakers at the D.C. Trump rally included Dana White, Stephen Miller, and actor Jon Voight.
Trump will take the presidential oath again and be sworn into office around noon on Monday. Officials have moved the inauguration ceremony into the Capitol building because of frigid weather expected on the day of the event. The traditional parade for the inauguration has been canceled, though officials are reportedly considering having Trump take his first actions as president, signing a slate of executive orders, from a stage set up in Capital One arena.
