Dept. of Government Efficiency - Elon/Vivek leading DOGE

[leetp]

Anyone else enjoying the irony of a "department of efficiency" having 2 people be in charge of it

Though I am all for it, it is kind of funny. I find the fact that there IS a Department of Government Efficiency in the first place somewhat comical. The only thing that would have made it better is if they called it the Department of Government Efficiency Department.

This is going to be a wild administration. Even pays homage to the meme coin DOGE.

As a staunch conservative, how does it feel to be supporting the creation of a new bureacracy in the federal government to do the job of one that already exists? The government oversight comittee. https://oversight.house.gov/

I mean I just went through an audit in our company where we found duplicate actions taken on by multiple departments and centralized them.
Why does anyone here, think that a person receiving BILLIONS of our tax dollars, deserves to be in charge of auditing himself and everyone else.
Ya'll are crazy. The cognitive dissonance is nuts.

This is like when the IRS hired more workers and found billions of dollars, and conservatives complained.

Won, awarded the contracts in SpaceX.
Received in Tesla via carbon tax trades.

SpaceX is well behind, it doesn't help that Boeing is crapping the bed lately, so they don't have adequate competition.

But if you don't see the conflict in interests at play here, I mean this is worse than Nancy Pelosi being put in charge of the SEC.
