Donald Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, is promising $2 trillion in spending cuts—but with no real authority to act, it’s raising more questions than confidence. Today, The Big Picture explores this meme-inspired initiative and its glaring flaws.

Money don't equal Security Clearance. Not working for a Government agency doesn't mean you get free range of Government working pay/cost.
Whether that can actually work is another question.
doge, (Venetian Italian: “duke”), highest official of the republic of Venice for more than 1,000 years (from the 8th to the 18th century) and symbol of the sovereignty of the Venetian state. I don’t think the acronym is an accident.
What are the terms of their "employment"?
2 trillion in lost services is a *lot* of services.
Unless they go "user pays" which is the "business way". In which case life is about to get a hell of a lot more expensive for a lot of people and a lot more dire for others.
Just hold public hearings where they make recommendations and promise to look at them very "strongly."
But pretty sure it;'s fake... although there is a snake like quality about Elon !!
Just a pity he owns everything ... including the incoming Trump government !!
"memes for me, not for thee".
Resist!!
Viva La Resistance!
I guess Taylor and Dolly are the billionaires setting the bar too high for rocket men.
He wants to destroy government services that help regular folk.
Javier Milei. He literally just closed 10 of 18 Government departments.
You think those departments weren’t popular?
Popularity is only relevant at election time, and there’ll probably be no elections for a while.
Which one is Mr and which one Mrs?
Melania, as a fellow immigrant, do you wish to weigh in?
Name one thing he promised that was delivered on time, as promised.
Oh, what about the cybertaxi, that didn't need a driver at all and managed 100% ROI after 1 year?
The Cybertruck. Best selling EV truck in the world including the F150 Lightning.
FSD. I have it in my car. It does 90% of the driving for me safely and trough busy city traffic.
You need to check things out before you talk!
The Cybertruck is a lemon, lived up to none of the promises, and started production 2 years late. Better than the new roadster though, that one is 7 years behind schedule so far.
FSD works 90% of the time? That doesn't make sense.
The only EV manufacturer in the world that is profitable.
The best-selling "car" in the world (ModleY)
You need to reread what I said - he overpromises and underdelivers.
Where is Hyperloop?

People forget that musk is nothing more than a myth. His companies are performing terribly and most of his income comes directly from tax payers through SpaceX. It’s why he bought himself a president.
This needs to be stopped. He is a massive security risk. He can't help but brag, he needs attention, so does dumpler. That's why they're butting heads, grump doesn't like not being the star.
Make "honourable" judges honourable again. Empty the coffers of the corrupt. Properly vet anyone who thinks they're going to rule.

Will Elon find a way to make money from his position? Undoubtedly. But it's mostly a prestige position with no hard power
'If it is not spent on my products, scrap it.'

There's waste and corruption in the system, sure. But believing it's 1/3 of the total budget is insane.
Yer in for some CHOP!
