My guess is that the new Dept of Government Efficiency will determine that it is unwise to terminate any of the subsidies and contracts the government has with Elon’s various enterprises.

That was the reason he got involved. He knew he manipulate his way into being able to do whatever he wants with his companies and government projects. It really makes you wonder why he said if Trump lost he would be going to jail
The DOGE offices of Elon and Vivek is the back porch entrance to corporate graft and kickbacks for favorable reg action & license dealing that #Trump needs in order to profit to the max in his second term.
#kleptocracy's the word.

I'm pretty convinced they're shooting for the Dark Enlightenment movement... After all, Theil basically OWNS JD and he himself has cited Curtis Yarvin as a political influence, who is a prominent mouthpiece for TDE. Bear in mind, "DOGE" (crypto)
Elon spent $44 billion for Twitter and $200 million on the 2024 election and he ends up with an 18-month job that he shares with Vivek where he can only make recommendations.
I find it interesting that the administration that is worried about govt efficiency is going to try to reinstitute prayer in schools...an issue that has been extensively litigated with the Establishment Clause being protected every time. Since when is beating a dead horse efficient?
The definition of corruption. Might need to have a show & tell on this. I think that most of the public has no idea of the breadth of Musk’s governmental footprint.
Of course not! Musk is set to gain billions of taxpayer dollars while cutting services for Americans. It's not enough that he inherited a fortune and is a billionaire. He wants more and the US government is the cash cow he wants the most. Seems he has it now.
I bet the $2 billion a day in tax subsidies the petroleum industry receives will not add any way to fiscal danger so do I feel safe or what? I’m reaching here…
Upcoming DOGE changes:
1) Only Teslas will be permitted on roadways. All other vehicles will be banned.
2) All internet will be provided thru Starlink. Others are inefficient.
3) Govt comms must be thru X. All other platforms are terminated.
Tesla and SpaceX have been identified as the sole organizations demonstrating the necessary efficiency. Consequently, all government contracts will be awarded to these entities without undergoing a competitive tender process. 😡
Worse than that. Musk will determine that only his companies can spend money efficiently so he’ll see to it that Billions of dollars more flow to his companies. And of course, there will be absolutely no oversight of what his companies do with that money.
Honestly, they’ll find that more contracts need to be issued to them because they’re head and shoulders better than any other company. Trump will bow down to Musk.
Elon is busy with his Frankenstein currency #Dogecoin News says it has surged past USDC, entering the top six largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, driven by the influence of Elon Musk and the Trump administration. Started its rise OCT 15!
The knitters would sit out on the street and knit code for the allies telling them where the germans were. Knits and pearls for dots and dashes. It was brilliant
In his speech, Vance dismissed any concerns that misinformation could sway elections. “If American democracy can survive 10 years of Greta Thunberg’s scolding, you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk,” Vance said.
My guess is that DOGE will determine that it's in the the best interest of U.S. government efficiencies to give Musk's companies even more subsidies and contracts.
Sounds like it should be illegal considering his subsidies but then again a pedophile rapist convicted criminal fraud and insurrectionist was reelected.
Everyone seems to be labouring under the assumption that the Department of Government Efficiency will itself be efficient. Expect a lot of people fighting and arguing over what should be done. It will be a triumph of activity at the cost of actual productivity. Public perception uber alles.
the "power of the purse", i.e., how fiscal money is spent and allocated, RESTS WITH CONGRESS, not an unelected guy seeking to inject his agenda and ideology (and maybe even a tax cut for himself) into the budgeting process...

Also, here are some of his failures to deliver what he was paid for by our tax money:

Not.
"We classify Tesla as a technology company, not an EV carmaker."

🎉The people rejoiced and cheered Dear Leader🎉
And quite possibly competitors to Musk Enterprises might be pretty worried — Boeing and Blue Origin come to mind…
what a complete dick he is.

No doubt just a vindictive and crony supporting puppet

Goebbels was that particular department's Minister.
no more consumer protection laws or departments

That’s why there are two heads.
