It was about efficiency, just not in the government's favour. Musk wanted to make it as efficient for him to skirt the rules and laws and avoid scrutiny. He succeeded.....
Exactly! Musk spend $277 million to help Trump win & when it became apparent that wouldn't be enough he RIGGED the voting machines in the Swing States to MAKE SURE he GOT what he PAID FOR because we ALL know how much Musk HATES LOSING just like Trump! ALL of America MUST KNOW THIS!
DOGE was never about efficiency.
It’s how billionaires dress up sabotage.
Cut the staff, gut the service, sell the wreckage.
Efficiency is just the story they tell
when they want to privatize democracy.

At least it's heartening to know that once we retake Congress, Elon Musk will spend every day of the rest of his life being grilled in front of Congressional hearing panels.
Hopefully on his way to actual trials and prison. (Yeah, I know rich white guys don't go to jail...but we can dream.)
It will end up costing BILLION$ (maybe TRILLION$) more in da end once Muskolini’s #DOGEbagHackers, #Project1860 shitbags, #GOPseditionCaucus & Trump’s #KleptocratCronyCabinet have fully GHETTOIZED🔥 the 🇺🇸federal gov’t b4 end of this year‼️
Planes will crash, ports will shutter, store shelves go empty…
Trump has flooded the zone with crazy orders causing people to lose sight of this. Thank you for the reminder. This is corruption. Musk spent money to get him elected and was placed in a position with authority to remove all obstacles and earn far more than he spent. Ignored conflicts of interest.
Hello, how can I promote my fundraising campaign? I don't know the right way. I don't have enough money to promote the campaign on social media, and I need money to cover my expenses.🍉🕊 https://givesendgo.com/Manarjad1989🫂🫰
Bet majority of those were signed under Dem president.
Dems don't plan 5, 10+ yrs ahead.
They allow massive mergers then a decade later wonder why there is right wing media consolidation.
Similar deal here.
Why give 1 person this much control? Force him to divest before signing contract.

The federal government paid for Musks starlink satellites, including grants from usaid. Musk is now charging the federal government exorbitant subscriptions to use it. SpaceX and all its assets should be turned over to NASA.
Oh well this is shocking! NOT! You don't give someone millions of dollars without any strings attached. God knows what Trump promised Musk to bail him out and buy the election for him. Musk expects and is getting a return on his investment and the bill is being sent to US Taxpayers.
Yep, NOT one thing Musk has done has made ANY part of our Govt MORE efficient, in FACT they've done just the OPPOSITE! They just spread their LIES about waste, fraud & abuse to DUPE people into thinking they're doing something good! NOTHING GOOD comes from EVIL, CORRUPT, GREEDY people!🤬
And those are just two bad guys. Meanwhile a whole nation’s historical confidence in what we’re about, our checks & balances, security, everything, really turned out to be a fallacy.
I wish somehow american people can collectively bring a class action lawsuit against Musk and take every penny from him to pay for the damages he has done and to repay the tax payer money he took.
He was on Tucker Carlson show before election and he said “I will be so fucked if Trump doesn’t win”
I think we are only at the beginning stage of our suffering as a country. When people in red states, small business owners, people who voted for GOP start to feel the burn. Maybe next year Dem can gain majority in congress, then onto 2028.
I need to have hope while we live this hell here.
💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏 💔
No but in his first term there were hundreds of legalities against trump with only a handful successful. They were not prepared for his outrageous policies. Now this term hopefully they can accomplish more and get something done. Might be fearful of him still as trump has the best in his pocket.
With a very modest investment, Musk has everything he wanted.
Including medical, financial and other personal data on all Americans.
Similarly very private information on US corporations.
We rolled over for a tuppence.
Who knew we were so cheap?
Wondering if there is an impeachment and consequences for the current admin if his connections would be considered invalid and other companies would be used instead?
lol. Seriously, who will do the investigating? And then what? Who will hold them accountable? I don't think you realize Trump and his cronies own everything.
Of course, that's what it was all about.
Any intelligent President wanting to eliminate waste in his government would start with research and then recommendations before putting some outside Billionaire in charge of a Day 1 Elimination Project.
F Trump and Muskrat.
Correct. DOGE was not about government efficiency. It was about Musk and his businesses. Stopping several federal agencies investigations, keeping his contracts and gaining new ones. Musk spent $277M to back Trump for this purpose. This is the biggest government corruption scandal in U.S. history.
Easy to see why Muskrat thought 350 million dollars was a cheap price to buy the USA, shame he did not see the 120 Billion losses coming when the rest of the world stopped investing in his toys!
This access is what he paid over a quarter of a billion dollars for. He has shut down multiple investigations into his companies and sought to outsource the work of agencies to his companies. He is gaining billions in contracts while avoiding millions in fines and restrictions. Money talks.
This administration is taking the tax money of the poor, working class, and middle class and funneling it into their own pockets. The current establishment in Washington needs to be replaced to protect the hard-working American from the #oligarchs.
Absolutely. And it’s worth noting a lot of wealthy philanthropic gestures are ultimately tax breaks masquerading as altruism— not necessarily a bad thing, it’s just that gold hoarders don’t typically give away money out of the goodness of their heart.
Exactly, doge is not forensic accountants and auditors. Efficiency was a pretext to fut regulatory agencies that were/are investigating Musk as well as gaining access to data and payment systems.
How did elected custodians of the public trust aquiesce so much of government operations so very quickly to such a loose cannon? How can this be rectified?
Only efficiency was personal for Musk financially, that $270 million election cost was cheap compared to the billions reaped in contracts and sidelined investigations.
Americans never care when their own are robbing them. Like you can do it in the open and they vote you in again as president. What do you expect from the dumbest people that ever existed in human history?
In the 60-70’s musicians wrote songs that explained and united movements for racial equality and getting out of Vietnam….where are these motivators today?
All over! There are a bunch of songs, and if you’re looking to find them go to your music app and search resistance playlists. I like Hostile Government Takeover and Jesse Welles has a ton of good songs. https://youtu.be/aaNdMAGEsqk
Artists deserve to make money. That said, there are plenty of resistance songs if you look further than radio stations owned by conservative establishment moguls.
FIX IT! UNITED is the response! The movement mirroring Polish worker union Solidarność movement, which invite everyone and later evolved in the powerful Democratic Party contributing largely to collapse of communistic regime. We need equivalent of Solidarność here and now.
I never thought it was. Why would he spend his valuable time unless he would benefit in the end? I'm relatively sure Trump didn't know the scope of the advantage Musk would get when it was offered.
It was obvious back in the fall when they first started talking about it. Project 2025, DOGE. Cripple government services, replace long-time civil servants with MAGA apparatchiks.
Anyone who even considered it was about efficiency or saving money should be forever banned from punditry.
If DOGE was about efficiency they would advocate to update the SSA’s computer system.Today I found out if they need docs you can fax, mail or drop off. If the latter, you need an appointment which you can’t make online. You have to call but all agents will be busy & they say “call back” & hang up.🤦♀️
Elon has his own little agenda. He bought Trump, pushed him aside then became the Alpha evil villian. Replete with black clothes, evil pose and completed the ensemble with his MiniMe
Self-enrichment with contracts AND gathering of all that data to feed his AI... bonus, on the backend, to sell off the data to whichever high bidder wants it for whatever purposes - good or bad - doesn't matter to him.
Backoors left in every system accessed for leveraging in future.
So, we have all this evidence of fraud, fascism, hate, racism, and greed, which is cool, but what I don't see is how we're going to fight it.
I mean, protests are cool, and they work, but I feel like we need people in power to actually step up and do something before we'll see any real change.
If it had been about efficiency, they would have kept the AGs, IGs, and brought in independent accounting firms, not hackers to steal our information & silo the different databases for targeting their enemies & for their own profit.
Haven’t we learned after the price of eggs charade that MAGA dont care how much they get ripped off as long as people that dont look like them are getting removed/disappeared from the country?
Of the 17 Inspectors General that Trump FIRED his lst week, several were investigating Musk/Tesla
safety violations & other issues
involving waste fraud & abuse -
& they find Billion$ annually when allowed to do their Jobs!
The 2 Conmen conned each other to get what they wanted.
Consenting cons?
It actually was—the techbro definition of efficiency. Humans are by their very nature inefficient. They need to eat and sleep and take breaks. AI and robots are much more efficient. Automate everything, and you have efficiency! And to hell with inefficient actual human needs.
You’re right - NEVER was it about efficiency. It was about implementing a fucking coup of the United States of America by oligarchs who managed to buy an election! Kick that South African Motherfucker out of our country! He shouldn’t be allowed to conduct business here ever again!! 😡

I just didn’t think Elon was going to hurt children and gut the disabled and poor like this for his personal gain.
I didn’t think someone was capable of that level of monstrosity. Just two years ago many Dems said he “Net positive even for all his social antics”.
