Former Kogi West Senator Dino Melaye has labeled the head of the United States, Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, Elon Musk, as America’s shadow president.
Melaye said Musk is also operating as the US Vice President.
Posting on X, Melaye wrote: “Elon Musk is the real shadow president and operating vice president of the United States of America.”
Recall that Trump appointed the tech mogul to lead DOGE in order to ensure that America’s ministries and agencies operate efficiently.
DOGE, under Musk’s guidance, has continued to slash costs across US federal agencies such as health, education, the Treasury Department, and defense.
Musk reportedly threatened to fire US employees who don’t answer their emails.
