Absolutely.
If Musk/DOGE truly wanted to elim. Waste, Fraud, Abuse, they would NOT elim Inspectors General.
The IRS is a PROFIT center - it brings in revenue.
Elim. agencies investigating Musk bus. IS A CONFLICT of interest.
It's about "Government Efficiency". And stopping the theft. Can't wait until they start looking at elected officials on where their millions while in office came from. That will really be interesting.
Musk will likely try to seize nuclear codes in the chaos of the governmental collapse he is helping orchestrate. That’s his key to world domination and freedom from being beholden to the Saudis and Putin.
Considering that the two biggest programs in the government are Social Security and the IRS!
Both these run extremely efficiently! IRS brings in trillions of tax dollars to support our government use to help we the people!
Social security is paid for weekly by the people!
Who do they think is going to buy all their products that make them billionaires when everyone is dead or jobless? Who is going to feed them when there are no farmers left? There are economics at play and they may end up the richest by taking all our money but they will starve and end up broke.
I think you’re all wrong. These guys are parasites sucking the cash out of the government. They don’t care what shakes out afterwards because they’ll be holding all the cash. Cash is king, right?!?! We’ve proven that!
Remember when Elon pulled a Theranos. Millions gone! Poof!💨 But so was our high speed rail that that Koch bros wanted gone too! All fucking parasites!!
Also, why wasn’t Elon put in jail like Elizabeth Holmes?
I am making Big Balls the center of all my rants. The face of the dip$hit incels taking our govt apart while we all wait for someone else to stop them.
Thanks to Big Balls most of our nuclear arsenal is now unguarded.
A cease and desist order against Musk, who lacks the constitutional authority to cut funding & Then a class action lawsuit filed against private citizen Musk requiring disclosure of all federal funds allocated or paid to him or his entities. I would sign on & my guess would be millions would join.
I think one of the tragedies of the dem party is the lack of this message. Ro and others focusing on efficiency, Schiff on autocratic. No one exposing Trump saying pre-election he knew nothing about P2025 yet it’s the boiler plate while he’s golfing. Where is the beat on the bait switch?
It's already gone too far down the road... it's the money.
Elon Musk is now trying to buy Wisconsin’s state Supreme Court majority. Election is on April 1—the first statewide election of the new Trump/Musk era. Musk wants to own state-level courts to thwart any possible check on their coup.
For those in the front row of his inauguration, it is now their primary concern to extract as much wealth as possible from the United States before it collapses. They have no intention of investing in "we the people". They never did, and we are like livestock to them.
When DT made that statement we who did our homework did not vote for a wannabe dictator who was hell bent on destroying
our democracy.The people that dismissed what he said voted for him. Believe people the 1st time when they show you who they are. DTvoters it’s your fault for this nightmare!
😡🤬🤬🥵
It's about dismantling the government and replacing it with techno-feudal stateless rule by the ultra wealthy and the merely wealthy who are in their service.

Accountability is what stops this rampant facism. Facism is what happens when a criminal is allowed to steal an election in order to stay out of prison and not face the consequences of breaking laws. Hold him accountable!
I think many people are going to realize they voted for the wrong person and those that didn’t vote should be giving themselves a good kick in the butt
It's a coup by a traitor and a man who doesn't respect law who both think money can buy anything. But neither one of them is happy inside. Misery only loves miserable company.
Yeah..we know..we been telling you for years..long before tRump the evangelicals turned into white Christian nationalist(tax fkn free because of people like you who said u luv the constitution and separation of church and state then just stood by while they took over
The thing is we know what they are doing, and Maga knows what they are doing, nobody is fool at this point. I can't believe that many Americans are stupid, but I can believe half are hateful.
Sorry, Billy. I know you're trying to be on the right side of history now, but some of us still remember the reprehensible work you did along the way. We are here in part BECAUSE OF YOU.
Do you remember who said, "there is no healthcare crisis"?
It’s all an extortion ploy. Get as much data as you can and start using it to extort people, lawmakers, states, allies. Everything is about control. Control information and money control the country.
The way they are going about the strategic dismantling of agencies reminds me of a scene from Star Trek Insurrection. An admiral is ordering Picard to stand down, but it's his final statement:
"File whatever protest you wish to, Captain. By the time you do, this will all be done."
You's guys don't get it It's a retribution campaign & it is NOT just about individuals In 2020
American democracy lead to fat felons defeat Clearly & fairly. So American democracy is the enemy. He is willfully destroying , day by day He won't stop til he is dictator Pay attention
They are also making agencies remove all language on websites and employee training materials, etc that has anything to do with words like “gender, equality, race” etc and withholding payments until it’s done. All federal agencies. It’s power. And actually costing $ to make the changes
I see the SSA is now soon to be in the hands of "Co47".. these are all the areas that I was concerned about, and now others will soon be also..
This is earned money at retirement or for those who are disabled. Where will this end? Let me be wrong....
This is money we paid in, it is ours, earned or not, it is our money, not an entitlement. If they want to end it send me a check for every cent I have paid in since I was 14.
It’s about wrecking and ruining. It’s about making democracy a mere memory. It’s about eviscerating the US and the West to the point that both are vulnerable to even a war-wrung and fractured shell of a country like Russia.
You should be pleased, this is Ronald Reagan's wet dream of completely impotent regulatory government, the logical conclusion to four decades of Republican anti-government fervor.
True if it were about DOGE, Elon wouldn't be taking the money this government of ours offers him. Somewhere I thought I read it comes out to 8 million dollars a day
Ironically given his amassed wealth, Elon is not driven by greed as much as he is driven by desire for adoration-and an absence of adoration, control over those who don’t exalt him.
Not sure. That idiot did same thing to Twitter the moment he got his hands on it. I expect the USA to (nearly?) crash as spectacularly as Twits and become like X.
Yes, that and the fact that both Musk and Trump are for lack of a better word, psychopaths. Most psychopaths don’t actually murder or physically harm other people, what they do is to try and amass as much power as possible, while seeking vengeance on anyone who tries to stop them.
Sounds more like kleptocratic power; or the power to reach deep into our pockets we like or not. They are availing themselves to government property for their own personal use.
"... the problem isn’t just that Mr. Trump ricochets through policy positions like a ball on a roulette wheel. It’s that his administration is set to become a casino where crypto gamblers, tech oligarchs and Wall Street opportunists compete with security hawks for influence."
I'm proud I stayed awake in Civics class
every single day.
Did my homework and took the tests,
and always got an "A."
And now I'll stand up!
Stand up for what I learned.
Let's fight the scourge of Fascism
before the Civics books get burned.
I was saying that 8 years ago. No one’s listening still otherwise tanks would be rolling across the White House lawn to remove this government by force now.
If it were about 'efficiency' it wouldn't be done in this haphazard, clueless, stupid, feckless, counter-productive manner [just ran out of adjectives, but you get the point.]
It's about the worst of us, privileged and powerful, destroying the world because the world was requiring of them to earn positions of authority and our respect.
Isn’t this waste? Wasting money & wasting usable product because you’re a bronzer-slathered narcissistic snowflake who thinks if people don’t test & test positive, covid doesn’t exist and he won’t look bad.
You do you, booh. And we’ll see all the “nonexistent” covid cases in the ER. 🙄🙄🙄
Annnnnd yet another backtrack. These are the stupidest motherfuckers…. If they’re “businessmen” they’re horrifically awful with management & decision-making.
I guess MAGA likes their “businessmen” without MBAs, and like all their other picks, utterly devoid of applicable experience or intelligence.
Agree Bill. Democratic lawmakers keep saying this is all about tax cuts. It is about breaking up our government and privatizing it to the highest bidder.
These tech oligarchs believe they know how to rule everything. They believe in Capitalist Monarchy. Trump was their way in. They chose Vance.
Hey Bill, long time Bulwark subscriber. This video let me down and reading the comments I am not alone. Germany has rules so they don't have another Hitler. https://youtu.be/ONskt7WBBr8?si=llRFgfHgyGzXuzJl
Musk is ransacking the government and ruining people's lives without objective or focus other than to dismantle the government and increase his personal wealth.
Let’s be honest, he was snubbed by New York elite for decades. They tolerated him but never accepted him in their elite arts counsels. The rational is a weak ego.
It’s also about plain cruelty and dismissing “regular people” to be servants of the ruling elite. And not caring about the rest of the world. Me me me!
Sadly, you justified the right and their convoluted rationale for too long .. no one is listening to your opinion any longer , and the valid alarm bells you are now sounding. We all saw this coming .
We need to work something out before january twentieth 2029. Unless he announces before, then that he's not going to willfully give up power. We need to have a plan to pry his regime out of there.
You have to learn to speak NOVLANG
When Musk says
Free speech = Free speech for me and not for others
Efficiency = More money for me and not for others
This Musk coup must end! His peers should be more interested in stopping him because hard to jet set lifestyle when planes keep crashing \ he has their information as well and Bond villains are not known for loyalty.👹
If it was about efficiency they would work with the public servants in place. Why would anyone think that a felon and billionaire with massive conflicts of interest can be trusted??

It’s always about control, never about the people.
Maybe I should get off this app
I’m looking for actual solutions
***NO MORE VOTING*** - Dictator Trump
"In four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good you won't have to vote." - Trump, 7/27/24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE7xoHJkgvE
our democracy.The people that dismissed what he said voted for him. Believe people the 1st time when they show you who they are. DTvoters it’s your fault for this nightmare!
😡🤬🤬🥵
So Trump/Musk et al are taking the shortcut: destroy the government, so there's nothing left to oppose the coup.
Do you remember who said, "there is no healthcare crisis"?
Oh right, that was YOU, in 1993.
We remember.
Buckley decision, power memo, citizens United federal Society, taking billions of dollars
slowly making the Congress having to flip everything to a court
that they control
you just didn’t see it did you?
Wow

Kennedy Center control = Control of Arts= Fascism
There is no absurd rationale.
It’s not efficiency.
It’s not a negotiating tactic.
It’s not border security.
It’s not law and order.
It is FASCISM.
And that is bad news.
They know that J6 MAGA were not capable (even though those folks prepared for this) so they assume we’re not either
We all need to nonviolent protesting in the millions, boycott and divest, they think they have already won but they don’t know who we are at all
When Musk says
Free speech = Free speech for me and not for others
Efficiency = More money for me and not for others
They can’t!!
