Ted Cruz Says Running DOGE Won’t Be A Cake Walk, Offers Reading Advice To Elon Musk
Posted On November 14, 2024
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) anticipated the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) department to yield “good results” but warned that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would have their work cut out.
What happened: During a podcast with Ben Ferguson, Cruz said he was upbeat about Musk’s new role in the administration but emphasized the fundamental differences between working for a private company and a government department.
Cruz said he had a phone conversation with Musk and urged the tech tycoon to read the book “Bureaucracy” by Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises, who argued why private players may find it difficult to administer a government agency.
