President-elect Donald Trump has tapped Tesla, X and SpaceX owner Elon Musk and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to lead DOGE, which aims to eliminate government waste.

The subcommittee will fall under the House Oversight Committee. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., who chairs the oversight panel, confirmed in an interview on “The Benny Show” podcast that Greene will lead the new subcommittee. 

Greene has reportedly already met with Ramaswamy and his team.

“In the private sector, if you’re not doing a good job, you get fired,” Greene wrote Thursday on X, formerly Twitter. “But for some reason, in government, bad employees—whether they’re failing to do the job they were hired to do or working in roles that are no longer needed—never get fired. This is incredibly unfair to the hard-working taxpayers of our country, and it’s about to change. I can’t wait to get to work!!”

Comer said Greene is “not afraid to back down or walk away from a fight.” Earlier this week, the Oversight Committee posted on X, “We look forward to working with President Trump to deliver the accountability the American people deserve by rooting out waste, fraud and abuse in our government.”

A Ramaswamy spokesperson told Fox News Digital: “A key step to driving greater efficiency in government is exposing the problem to the public. We are grateful that the House Oversight Committee has created a subcommittee to focus on this work.”

The announcement was quickly rebuked by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who wrote on X: “This is good, actually. She [Greene] barely shows up and doesn’t do the reading. To borrow a phrase I saw elsewhere, it’s like giving someone an unplugged controller.””
