what part of elon was necessary for that. Maybe look into the promises and timelines he's made to get your money and not deliver.
It's not going to last at all. Just a way for Eloon to try and cut the regulatory programs that get in his way. The conflict of interest is obvious to those of us without our head in the sand.
Gut federal departments and agencies that provide any sort of oversight on companies or the richest 1% of America.
Cut social safety net programs for the poor.
I just summed up Vivek's and Elon's eventual findings. Go ahead pay me 10% of what those snake oil salesmen were going to charge the Government.

Well, I’m going to believe Vivek who was interviewed recently, who said all their on-going findings will be shared with the public.
I don’t think this new DOGE is looking at insider trading, rather existing federal agencies, etc.
I have no reason to believe they won’t share all of it. 🤔
Kamala Harris said she would do all sorts of great things if she were elected president, did you not believe her?
So… exactly what 90% of politicians from either party have been doing for the past 70 years.
Initially I would have given her the benefit of the doubt, but her action(s) or lack of as a VP wasn’t too promising.
Yeah, that's a great point. Now that I reflect on past actions. I remember America being a shithole in 2016. Then someone made it great again from 2017-2021. Then it became a shithole again. Now, someone stated they'll make it great again, I'll believe them, because they stated it and the past actions of doing it.
Thanks Hans, I always learn something from you.
Yeah, except nobody elected this asshole. He's there solely because he kissed the ring. He's done nothing but defraud people his entire career. That's literally the only reason anyone knows who he is, is because he got rich while a bunch of people lost money. Very similar to Trump, actually.
Can we start here? That okay with you?
Last 4 years of Biden-Harris oversaw this. What do you have to say for their stewardship of public money here?

I'd be pleasantly surprised if they trimmed the fat from the DOD's budget
If "DOGE" does not start with the DoD budget, it is BS. The expenditures and oversight of defense contractors have been a joke for years. Reign in the overspending, hold contractors accountable, then go after the bullshit that is significantly less important.
I remain skeptical their efforts will result in anything meaningful.
This government’s a f***ing joke. The only ‘solution’ is a total collapse.
The Pentagon on Friday failed its seventh audit in a row, with the nation’s largest government agency still unable to fully account for its more than $824 billion budget, though officials stress they are making good progress toward a clean audit in 2028.

I think you're right.
Trumpers have this fantasy of Trump firing tens of thousands of federal employees en masse and "draining the Swamp," but he can't make sweeping changes like this without the support of Congress and the Judiciary. It's unlikely he will be able to get much done here before he loses his trifecta in the midterms.
This has been true going back at least to the Reagan era and probably farther. Remember Chuck Grassley's $40.00 hammers back in the day?
And Musk and Vivek will not be looking at the Defense Dept budget anyway. Absolutely positively guaranteed.
Why are Democrats so opposed to accountability in government spending? I don’t get it.
You know what's fun. When you dont understand simple words like "required"
Yes. Semantics makes excessive taxation honky dory! Even better when those ridiculous taxes are wasted or stolen! Fun!
