North-east business guru James Watt is hoping to emulate Elon Musk's new US government role by creating his own department of government efficiency - Shadow Doge.
The BrewDog founder, announcing his plan on LinkedIn, described it as the "unofficial, underground cousin" Musk's department in America.
He said: "It’s time to actually do something.
"I’m sick of talking about how broken our government is. And I'm sure you're sick of hearing about it.
"So, I am introducing Shadow Doge."
Setting out his plan of action, Watt listed the things Shadow Doge would do.
"Using extensive Freedom of Information requests to public bodies to delve deeply into how carelessly our tax money is being spent.
"Put an anonymous hotline in place for public sector workers to report waste.
"Publish a monthly report which shows all the ways we have found that the government could be more efficient with how they spend your hard-earned taxes.
"Take an entrepreneurial approach to the public sector and highlight billions of pounds of potential savings.
"Publish a league table of the worst offending public bodies when it comes to wasting our money."
Watt criticised both the Labour government and the previous Conservative administration, with the government choosing between raising taxes and cutting spending.
He adding: "Together with the business community, I want to show there is a better way.
"We show that if our government can become significantly more frugal with how it spends our money that will represent a far better solution than further increasing taxes which just leads to job losses and economic pain for everyone.
"The UK government will spend £1.276 trillion this year.
"If we save just 1%, we could fix our budget deficit.
"If we save 10%, we could build the strongest economy in the world."
