What I THOUGHT would happen was that Musk would ID issues & advise Congress on how and what to prioritize for cost-cutting. Overall it seemed a poss survivable plan. This? It's like invaders are looting our safety net & the soul of our country concurrently, with malice aforethought.

You mean the law (as it's written right now anyway) could allow this guy to Keep On Doing What He's Doing - and Not get held responsible - just because the White House 'Says' he's not doing it?
I hadn't taught 1984 in a couple of decades, but when I also heard this story on NPR, I automatically thought of Big Brother as no one had ever seen him and "he [was] simply the guise in which the Party [chise] to exhibit itself to the world" and that "he will exist as long as the Party exists."
"...an existing White House office called the U.S. Digital Service — a unit that primarily works on government technology projects and that exists within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) — would be renamed the U.S. DOGE Service."
Yes. The White House says it’s not him. But they don’t say who it is. Somebody has to be legally accountable for all of this, and their efforts to dodge any personal responsibility are laughable.
Why is ANYBODY following these people's orders? If you run an agency or a department within an agency who gets a visit from these pathetic bootlickers lock the doors and don't let them in because they will be trespassing.
Then tell them to go fuck themselves and to come back when they have any actual authority to do ANYTHING. Then call the police to come and remove the trespassers from the grounds.

That’s the point.
Musk’s using taxpayer funds and individuals’ data for corrupt purposes
