Part of running the Department of Government Efficiency, it seems, will be hosting a podcast.

Vivek Ramaswamy has announced he and Elon Musk will host a new podcast. The two billionaires will explain what they’re hoping to do with the new commission, which aims to dramatically reduce government spending—and is expected to result in thousands of lost jobs and the potential abolishment of federal agencies.

“Elon and I are going to start a separate track of DOGEcasts that explain exactly what we’re doing to the public to provide transparency,” Ramaswamy said in a video posted to YouTube. “And what is a once-in-a-generation project? We want to bring the public along with us to lift the curtain, to take us behind the scenes of what actually that waste, fraud, and abuse in government looks like.”

Describing himself and Musk as “businessmen,” not politicians, and “outside volunteers,” Ramaswamy (who ran for president earlier this year) did not say when the podcast would start, nor did he hint where the department cuts will likely begin.

DOGE is being highly touted by Trump and Musk, but it faces some potential legal hurdles before it can do much. Neither Musk nor Ramaswamy will be government employees. Both, instead, technically serve as advisors. And DOGE will work with the White House Office of Management and Budget to implement the recommendations of the two.

While there are certain to be legal challenges when the pair begin swinging the ax, a jointly written opinion piece that ran in the Wall Street Journal saw Musk and Ramaswamy confident that the Supreme Court would back any recommendations they make.

“Skeptics question how much federal spending DOGE can tame through executive action alone,” they wrote. “They point to the 1974 Impoundment Control Act, which stops the president from ceasing expenditures authorized by Congress. Mr. Trump has previously suggested this statute is unconstitutional, and we believe the current Supreme Court would likely side with him on this question.”
