Trump says Elon Musk will lead Department of Government Efficiency with Vivek Ramaswamy
Trump made the announcement on social media, fulfilling a campaign promise to give Musk sweeping oversight of federal spending.
It's hilarious to think Elon could run anything efficiently.
Vivak:
ACK ACK ACK!
Elmo:
snorts massive amount of ketamine
We should cut the Navy.
Vivak:
ACK ACK ACK!
DOGE. You've gotta be kidding me
It’s the stupidest fucking timeline
I am not going to look, but I bet the crypto coin rose in value over this too.
I know people really in to crypto and it sounds like it absolutely did
You know, the sad thing is that it's probably a good idea to trim some programs-- just not put two of the dumbest rich guys in charge.
Before election season even started, I recall a discussion on NPR mentioning that to balance the budget and bring down the deficit, something politically toxic would be required, be it cutting social security or military or dramatically raising taxes.
Too bad this version is probably cutting good stuff to pay for tax cuts for rich (and failing that, passing those cuts anyway)
It's going to be the irs, epa, fda, etc. Things that are chronically underfunded and provide tangible value but which also annoy rich fucks.
It would be hilarious if they were so incompetent that they forget to not fuck with the Military Industrial Complex.
IRS, EPA, FDA, OSHA, probably the FBI, the DoL, DoE, DoEd...
That would be the job the Congress's Government Accountability Office. Having 2 totally seperate and independent orgs in charge of government efficiency is peak Trump logic.
I would assume Trump knows very little about the different offices, so that tracks. That said, Musks thing probably has very little to do with accountability, lol. They'll fire competent people and break stuff, just like with X--- no need to look at what good they do!
Why does a Department of Efficiency need 2 guys to run it?
Because to a nazi, inefficiency = efficiency.
Just like how trickle down economics, the literal exact opposite of a rising tide lifting all boats, is "a rising tide lifts all boats".
The truth isnt republican-safe until it's upside down.
So now he'll have 3 full time jobs?
Man you can't get ahead in this economy
Vivek does all the work and Elon will take all the credit.
And nothing gets done because this project exists solely to enrich 2 men
The guy who caused Twitter to lose 85% of its value and become a fascist hate filled Russian propaganda machine?
What could possibly go wrong?
He simply eliminated excess profits to make it more efficient
Rapist president selects a billionaire sex offender for position. (Epstein would have been a made man if he had just made it to the Biff future timeline.)
Lol actually biff timeline 💀
That sounds a lot like a milk monitor job to me.
Give the dumb dumb a nothing department with no power just to keep him out of trouble.
I think he's going to just go into other agencies and fuck shit up by changing their processes. There's going to be a lot of broken shit all over the place in like a year or so.
That’s surprisingly optimistic. I give it 2 months.
And I only give it that long. Because musk won’t know how to navigate government bureaucracy.
The US gonna find out what a grade A moron elon is
Did you just say fucking Vivek
