Trump Says Musk and Ramaswamy Will Lead “Dept. of Government Efficiency”

Donald Trump is turning to two of his billionaire supporters, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, to overhaul the federal government. The president-elect said the “Department of Government Efficiency” would propel “drastic change” throughout the federal bureaucracy by July 4, 2026


They've got a year and a half to fix everything or destroy everything. We'll see.

If Liberals don't screw it up I'm already feeling the mid-term voter turnout - will be rather large.

It's amusing that the Dept. Of Gov't Efficiency, aka DOGE is named after Musk's favorite cryptocurrency, Dogecoin, which was created as a joke. From wikipedia:

Dogecoin (/ˈdoʊ(d)ʒkɔɪn/ DOHJ-koyn or DOHZH-koyn,[2] Abbreviation: DOGE; sign: Š) is a cryptocurrency created by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, who decided to create a payment system as a joke, making fun of the wild speculation in cryptocurrencies at the time.[3] It is considered both the first "meme coin", and more specifically the first "dog coin". Despite its satirical nature, some consider it a legitimate investment prospect. Dogecoin features the face of Kabosu from the "doge" meme as its logo and namesake.[4][5][6] It was introduced on December 6, 2013, and quickly developed its own online community, reaching a peak market capitalization of over US$85 billion[a] on May 5, 2021

That would be pretty standard Musk childish humor.
As has been noted, his Tesla models are:
S, 3, X, Y ...

Back when I was a kid (many decades ago) it was a standard derogatory remark that something was "government work", or somebody was behaving like a "government worker". The social expectations were that if you have a government job you could get high pay for little work.

Then in 1993 along came Clinton with his "reinventing government" initiative and that finally started to change. The message was that as a government employee you were working for the people, and spending their money so you better put out the best you can. It was at a time when much of management theory was evolving and generally a massive productivity improvement cycle in the US economy. This created many of the methods for improving government productivity.

The next wave of productivity enhancement is expected to come from AI. Musk has the right background to aid in implementing AI in government functions. OTOH, a July 2026 goal is not going to happen for something like this.

"Trump said “the left-wing gender insanity being pushed in our children is an act of child abuse — very simple,”

It should also be noted that one the many kids Musk's wandering penis created is transexual...as are many children of MAGAmericans.

Sexuality isn't, as the lying, felonious rapist Trump believes, a left-wing thing. It's a biological thing found in humans and other species.

Just one more thing the lying, felonious rapist used to generate hatred based votes for his party of fear and loathing.

And to the poster whose sense of humor was manifested in his strawman about males menstruating.... another GFY is in order.

DOGE - Duplicitous Oligarchs Grifting Everyone
