Elections DOGE is formed

[Ballsaque]

Trump just officially started DOGE, the department of government efficiency. It is getting run by Musk and Vivek is in it also. The plan is to cut back on goverment wasteful spending as we are trillions in debt.

This timeline is WILD.

 

[KnightTemplar]

Lame-ass name.

After Ruffalo, RDJ, Scarlett etc crashed and burned supporting Kamala, Trump should have called this new agency,

The meme aspect is silly, but who cares so long as it works. Imagine the billions that can be saved.

Another problem is where it gets allocated instead, which is why I hope it really is transparent.

I would assume the point would be to not reallocate the money, so long as we are deficit spending and/or have debt.

- This idea sound as good, as the idea Darren Aronofsky had for a Batman movie.


It's a horrible idea!

 

[BFoe]

You have to be a true partisan hack to hate this. No one pisses away $$ like government. This is badly needed in Canada too.

I can understand skepticism, but this could be amazing, especially if it’s transparent. Lots of nations look to you guys for leadership. Hopefully this is successful and spreads across the globe.

Who could hate this? I mean, nothing screams government efficiency like adding another agency.

In seriousness, we’ll see what they do, but I think we have a good idea what will be cut: education, science-related initiatives, initiatives related to arts and culture, social benefit programs that help lower income people, some aspects of social security maybe…all stuff Republicans hate.
This is the shit that’s always on the chopping block if Republicans get their way.

But whatevs. This is what the people voted for, elections have consequences as they say, so let’s see it.

Elon and Vivek = the two Bob's from Office Space?

Anyone that has ever worked in a municipality or government agency knows the massive amount of wasteful spending, useless jobs, and total ineptness. A department to minimize these things is a step in the right direction. Locally we had a municipality order 2 million worth of dump trucks for road work. There were 2.5 million worth of unused trucks in a department 9 miles away. Anyone that is saying this is "retarded" needs to look in a fucking mirror.

It doesn't get allocated anywhere, that's kinda the whole idea.

I remember when people on here used to complain about deep state billionaires shaping policy from the shadows and now we're doing that openly and nobody seems to give a shit.

Fucking hilarious tbh.

His America PAC which spent 200 million to elect Trump and support other Republican causes is probably the closest thing.

If Musk had any sort of transparency there and his…ahem, “charity”… we might know more about the specifics.
He certainly involves himself in elections regarding DAs.

It’s just funny, the Koch Brothers did this shit for years and conservatives didn’t care; Musk does this shit now and conservatives don’t care; but boy, they sure hate Soros. It’s not an antisemtitc batshit crazy conspiracy theory though, nope, no siree…

 

[WuDi]

Imagine if the Dems put Soros in charge of something, what would your reaction be?

Imagine they put both Hitler and Stalin in charge of something


If you haven't noticed, Soros is widely recognised as someone who pushes the very ideas that people voted against, Musk promoted and pushes the very ideas that people voted for.

 

[Confucamus]

What an incredible time to be alive. Looking forward to seeing how well this will work.

Maybe wait and see what he actually does before being overly confident about that.

 

[AWilder]

So the first step in creating more efficiency in government, is to create and and fund an entire new government agency?

We're off to a good start you fucking 'tards.

And it's headed by two people to do.... The work of one person.

 

[EndlessCritic]

Official prediction: By 2026 Donald Trump will be saying, "Elon Musk was never my friend".

 

[Protectandserve]

Bigly if true.

Massive if verified

The giant asteroid can't come soon enough to wipe out the meme the world has become.

Its antisemitism to not want a DA that allows shootouts in the middle of the street? That's just brilliant. People like you are the reason Trump won. You're the problem.

 

[Rational Poster]

Seems like a whole lot of bullshit. Just by the press release they know it's bullshit too. "provide assistance and guidance from outside of government"

This is just an advisory panel, not a government agency. It's pretty clear Elon can't actually join the government.

 

[Zazen]

The right has pretty much betrayed every stance they supposedly believed. Against DEI and pro merit? Yeah well trump is basing his entire cabinet on loyalty and not competency. For state rights? Trump and ICE threaten blue states and when Gavin stands up for Cali they get furious. George Soros bad? Well meet Elon who is every nightmare they conjured in their imaginations about Soros brought to real life.
