LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — About 100 miles west of Washington DC, at the nexus of quiet country roads, sits a network of bustling small businesses and community connections that helped deliver the swing state of Pennsylvania for President-elect Donald Trump.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday named Elon Musk to a role aimed at creating a more efficient government, handing even more influence to the world's richest man who donated millions of dollars to helping Trump get elected.

President-elect Donald Trump late Tuesday announced Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the “Department of Government Efficiency” in an effort to “dismantle government bureaucracy.”

President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday night announced Elon Musk will help lead an effort to cut government regulations and slash spending, making good on a campaign pledge to put the Texas billionaire who spent $119 million to get him elected in charge of the so-called “Department of Government Efficiency.

Musk, the billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, reportedly spent "at least $130 million" on pro-Trump campaigning.

Elon Musk’s super PAC spent around $200 million to help elect Donald Trump, according to a person familiar with the group’s spending, funding an effort that set a new standard for how billionaires can influence elections.

Veteran tech journalist Kara Swisher suggests the billionaire's Mar-a-Lago residency might not end well: “Trump goes through people like tissues.”
