President-elect Donald Trump announced on November 12 that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead a new task force on government efficiency according to a report by AP News.
The Department of Government Efficiency will work outside the bureaucracy to drive large-scale structural reform and create an entrepreneurial approach to government.
You can be sure the farm bureaus, stock grower’s associations and public lands councils, already circling their wagons, will point to the wild horse and burro program as wasteful government spending, when most of its costs are incurred because of them.
The same is true for wildfire restoration, fuels reduction, cheatgrass mitigation, predator control and pinyon-juniper management on America’s public lands.
Hundreds of millions of dollars spent every year on affluent ranchers who pocket the profits and pay almost nothing for the services, as nearly 70,000 wild animals rot in government holding.
If Musk and Ramaswamy understood the waste and sleaze, and they had the authority, they’d kill this boondoggle Monday morning and put those animals back on the range.

I hope free range ferell horses never leave the land I live on. I see them every day. They do need to be managed better. Their population is not supported by the range to the detriment of all other species including the horses. Proper caltle grazing is not the problem. It’s actually beneficial to a lot of species like sage hen. They reduce the fuel load, and disperse seed unlike horses who have a differant stomach. They are currently being fenced out of the Scripps Wildlife Management area so the birds can come back after the horses changed the habitat with their grazing. Locusts with hooves. Reduce their numbers!
