MUSK, RAMASWAMY MUSE ON ENDING CLOCK CHANGES. The “Department of Government Efficiency” may target the century-old practice, the men suggested on social media. It was not immediately clear whether they were serious. December 3, 2024 at 5:00 a.m. ESTToday at 5:00 a.m. EST 6 min 2023 Vivek Ramaswamy, tapped by President-elect Donald Trump to help run a new effort dubbed the “Department of Government Efficiency,” does not like daylight saving time. “It’s inefficient & easy to change,” he wrote on X. (Andrew Kelly/Reuters) By Dan Diamond Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy say they’re hunting for ways to make American government more efficient. One possible target: the semiannual changing of the clock that so many Americans dislike. “Looks like the people want to abolish the annoying time changes!” Musk wrote last week on his social platform, X, linking to another user’s online poll that found most respondents wanted to end daylight saving time. The practice of shifting clocks forward one hour in March and back one hour in November is intended to maximize Americans’ exposure to sunlight during working hours but has long been derided for causing groggy mornings, missed appointments and even some public health problems.
