Despite the irony of creating a government agency geared toward government efficiency, I'm pretty excited about this one.

Elon shuts down entire departments when they don't meet expectations.

My one real fear being put to rest: Trump replicating his first term.

Looks like he's going to get the unelected bureaucracy in DC before it gets him.

Never have conservatives been this excited about a new federal department.


This is fair, but if the department is 2 people (or anything under 10) it's .00000001% of the budget. If they can cut waste, the ROI is unimaginable.

And there's this. The mission of DOGE is to shrink the uncountable size of our government and then shut itself down within 2 years.

man... this is the most bonerific news from the federal government of my lifetime. I can barely wrap my head around it. The fight for life from the agencies under the knife will be legendary though.... it will be the battle of the ages to make significant cuts, but damn it's about time we tried!

I do kind of wonder how Elon is supposed to regulate government without having a million conflicts of interest.


This is also fair. And Vivek is a pharma bro that has his own interests.

But every government agent in charge now has their own interests as top priority and none of them are independently wealthy enough to shrug off even nominal six figure bribes. This move may be awful but everything in DC is already awful so may as well take a shot at it

Good Trump. Let's hope it results in more than marginal and very difficult to reverse cuts.

If only we had a Milton Friedman-type who could join them. This DOGEY would then be a three-headed badass.




This has been a necessity for decades. Hopefully they hit the ground running and rolling over both the Deep State and the Useless State.

We don't deserve Elon. (I almost paid Billy just to post a heart)


Maybe I'll be able to afford it next year.

Please get rid of greenhouse gas reporting for EPA and the SEC and any fees associated with GHGs! Do away with ESG, DEI, and sustainability. Lose Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Keep the Clean Air Act, PSD, and NNSR so I still have a job.

Elon has always had a thing for it, even joked (or maybe not) about it being the currency of Mars.
Quote:
Dogecoin (Abbreviation: DOGE) is a cryptocurrency created by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, who decided to create a payment system as a joke, making fun of the wild speculation in cryptocurrencies at the time. It is considered both the first "meme coin", and more specifically the first "dog coin". Despite its satirical nature, some consider it a legitimate investment prospect. Dogecoin features the face of Kabosu from the "doge" meme as its logo and namesake. It was introduced on December 6, 2013, and quickly developed its own online community, reaching a peak market capitalization of over US$85 billion on May 5, 2021. As of 2021, it is the sleeve sponsor of Watford Football Club.

Dogecoin.com promotes the currency as the "fun and friendly Internet currency", referencing its origins as a "joke". Software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer launched the satirical cryptocurrency as a way to make fun of Bitcoin and the many other cryptocurrencies boasting grand plans to take over the world. With the help of Reddit, the site became an instant hit. Within two weeks, Dogecoin had established a dedicated blog and forum, and its market value reached $8 million, once jumping to become the seventh largest electronic currency in the world.

Don't know if it's been pointed out already but $DOGE is up 243% in the last month, +108% in the past week.

My only concern is Vivek and Elon are both super alpha "I am the BOSS" types. How will they work together? How can a department have 2 bosses?

I think the fact it's cutting waste and not building something to fight over. I don't see one of them backstabbing the other to save more government.

This is like a dream come true. Crowdsourcing the search for government waste. This whole process will be one of the most entertaining, interesting events in the history of politics. What a time to be alive.

even with no TSA we will still need some level of security theater in all airports.

too many bad faith actors out there, foreign and domestic, that will be willing to take advantage of failures in our travel infrastructure.

that will still have to be founded somehow.


Simple. Cheap, and Easy.

This is just awesome. Really excited to see how it plays out. With live input from the public. This is gonna be fun to watch.

Cautiously optimistic we may actually see Trump shrink the government. Who was the last president to do that? I think it's Calvin Coolidge …. Can someone fact check that?
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
