Dept. of Government Efficiency - Elon/Vivek leading DOGE

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.
You "win" a contract, sure; but payment on it still has to be earned. The contractor has to meet contract delivery requirements to be paid or the money will be pulled back and reprogrammed.

And, yes, I do see a glaring conflict of interest and I am 100% concerned about it. Your analogy is spot on. I--along with what I hope are people who actually matter--will be watching hawkishly to see how they intend to manage it.
 
Pentagon fails 7th audit in a row unable to account for nearly $830B budget...

and surely the richest man on the planet who receives more money than most companies from the federal government will fix it!!!!
ya'll elections really do have consequences. Good luck acting like you did the right thing, after this is all over.

while it is refreshing to have people communicating over the airwaves or broadband, are yall asking yourselves: How is this process more secure and better than what we currently have. Because otherwise, its waste.
I don't follow? What other means of comms are you alluding to? What about this medium concerns you?

I can’t wait for the federal government to start fleecing itself. Elon’ company is only holding on because he knows how to steal more carbon tax credits from the American taxpayer than anyone in history. Seems like the right guy to help the taxpayers get a more effective government.
 
Wow!!




The Federal government computers & software are in such bad shape that they often cannot verify that payments are not fraud, waste or abuse!

That’s why the government can’t pass basic audits. They often LITERALLY don’t know where your tax dollars went. It’s insane.

My preferred title in the new administration is Volunteer IT Consultant. Need to fix the IT infrastructure in order to make government work. This is a grind & hardly glorious, but we can’t make government efficient & fix the deficit if the computers don’t work.

Heard someone (talking heads) said the systems have not been upgraded since 2006 ... Hard to believe but will be interesting to find out....

He is doing all the stuff Soros does and more. And he is doing it better.
Let's not forget he is doing it how the majority of the country wants, not in a clandestine way with local judges, prosecutors, councilmembers like Soros. There is a reason Soros has been banned from various countries in the world. He is a plague and hell bent on the destruction of society into a totalitarian Utopia, he is PRO-slavery, Elon is PRO-freedom. They are literally the antithesis of each other.
 
I am all for eliminating waste, and have no doubt a lot of opportunities exist.

My concern is that they will feel public pressure to do something and they will start cutting things they don’t fully understand (despite Trump’s bluster, everyone truly can’t be an expert in everything). Often things seem superfluous or unnecessary from those on the outside.

Elons ideal, from his biography, is to cut so much that you have to hire back 10%. That’s what is coming

Why do you think that?
Damn, do you even read what you write?

I just don't know that I agree with that strategy with government.

Why do you think that?

Or are you just trying to share something you found and attaching me to it?

If Elon Musk wanted to control the government, he would just open up a web of NGOs and flood them with dark money. He would buy politicians in secret and get a nice tax break for doing it.

But then he would be a Democrat, like George Soros.

Elon Musk doesn’t want to control the government, he just wants to expose them.
