Doesn't really make much sense does it?

Sounds like The Department of Administrative Affairs (Yes Minister)

The party against big government decided to ad a new department to the government. Two if you count the Space Force.

And have 2 people heading it. Make it make sense.

with Two heads instead of 1

But have you actually considered that it is Epic to have DOGE as an acronym? It takes le reddit gold on my opinion

lol

Praise our glorious leaders for the double plus good thing.

And to staff it with two directors?

An oversight committee if you will.

It's might as well be called Trump's Department of Redundancy Department

Smoke & mirrors. It’s just all about farting in an elevator.

Only if the person heading it can turn a successful and well loved $44 billion company into a rotten husk.

And head it up with two instead of one chairmen?

Just to give Elon Musk a job and more taxpayer money

There will be nothing efficient coming from that department it be more corruption and a effort to constrict people of their rights

lol sounds familiar - was it in the 80s?

Lmao… where was thing a thing?

Venezuela tem o Ministério da Suprema Felicidade.

I just remember that Terry Gilliam made a movie in 1985 about bureaucracy called "Brazil". Interestingly it has nothing to do with the country, just with bureaucracy www.imdb.com/title/tt0088...

Hahahahahaha. Yes!

Perhaps if theres no incentive to be more efficient. In my country, there seems no reason for government not to stuff state department with people working slowly. More jobs, decrease unemployment, work does get done, but citizens complain about delays getting their drivers/ID. Same in the US?

Performative politics at the highest level

Especially when it’s going to be run by two with ZERO experience in government!

It is both Orwellian and Monty Pythonesque in equal measure.

This was exactly my question to my husband this morning

"The Department of Redundancy Department"

In order to ensure it is operating efficiency, there will be an internal department... The Department of Department of Government Efficiency Efficiency

Short answer? No Long answer? Noooooooo

No. But that's not why they're creating it. Like all things republican, it's a norwellian institution for the purpose of eliminating those government agencies which actually help people.

And make it a Memecoin reference to boot... I feel like we really are living in Idiocracy

With TWO heads. Yeah… that will be efficient.

Scratching my head in that one…

So much for the party of “small government”

It would be more efficient with only one head I think

The "Department of Government Efficiency" sounds like Orwellian double speak.

From unreliable sources: He's going to counter that creation by eliminating the Dept. of Education. Maybe just rumors but if you glanced over the 2025 plan, it mentions similiar actions.

Increase efficiency by foregoing all that call-for-bids malarkey and awarding government contracts straight to Tesla.

Trump is irony impaired

Doubleplus ungood.

Wow, this is so insightful. One can't help but appreciate the irony. By the way, I just joined Bluesky and this is my first post.

If the federal government isn't working efficiently or effectively, then yes. The American people should know where all our money goes.

Only to add to Musks wealth

The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy. - Oscar Wilde

#Bureaucracy would be rendered #obsolete in a resource based economy.

Next will be the Ministry of Truth, to spread the lies.

Lol!

🤣🤣🤣

And save taxpayers money by creating a new bureaucracy. Right up there with creating the Space Force.

Department of Redundancy Department!

With 2 heads

It kind of reminds me of the huge amount of paper we used in the military to explain the "Paperwork Reduction Act" 💙

It may not be efficient buts it def Orwellian.

No; but what does logic have to do with a Trump administration?

Rite, cauz gobermen iz goin make a prafet, danks 2 da firzt lade Elon Musk.

With two people heading it? Probably not.

So the billionaires can take a salary on a job they created. 😤😤😤

Led by 2 people instead of 1. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Very Orwellian

It’s a made-up department so that Trump can throw both of them out after 15 months. They will have 0% power or say.

One approach to address these issues could be to make government operations more efficient by reducing unnecessary red tape and streamlining processes. This isn’t about eliminating government’s role but ensuring that taxpayer money is used as effectively as possible.

Yes but you need another department to make sure the department of government efficiency is working efficiently.

AKA the FUBAR Department.

And use two people to do the job of one 🤷‍♂️

Correct. It's independent, non-partisan, and part of the legislative branch.

They are lost on the irony.

No, but its effects will create efficiency (supposedly; no plans yet). Too bad that most of us peons are considered ‘overhead.’

.....and with two people in charge?

Good point!

run by 2 people...

That was an instafollow.

Congress would have to approve it. It’s an easy token to pass out for participating though.

Considering the incoming administration not really.

To duplicate the responsibilities of the Government Accountability Office... and run by co-heads. #Orwellian #Doublespeak

If you’re in a Harry Potter novel.

A man with the shining intelligence of Musk should surely understand that government efficiency is an oxymoron

Sounds like a HUGE scam. Grifters gonna grift.

You all should feel insulted

Another oxymoron

There is probably room to remove 20% inefficiencies. I am not sure Musk is the right person though.

Is it even legal?

Only if you have two people lead it.

It's not there for efficiency, it's there to justify destruction of "enemy" departments and removal of enemies from within. DEI focused people and groups will be eliminated for being inefficient, for example.

Having 2 directors bleeds irony

Sounds like giving your stupid inept buddy a job.

And why does it require 2 dudes to run it?

"The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy"

It’s like the movie, Brazil

Seems like an oxymoron

The moment I saw both of them given the position, I thought the same thing.

Sounds like Musk has been watching old BBC political satires and thinking they were good political science. Yes Minister, set in the fictional Department of Administrative Affairs, administering the administrators. It went about as well as you think it did.

Depends on what recommendations come from it. However based on who is heading it, probably not. Going to be industry regulations that just so happen to encompass Musks businesses, I bet

Hahaha 🤣

I thought the same thing

And have two people in charge too 😂 Typical.

Also the fact that it's acronym is DOGE? idk, that just feels like we're being mocked now 💀

And if its focus is "efficiency" then why are there two people heading the department and on the payroll? Doesn't sound very "efficient" to me! Tax payers dollars being squandered.

With co-chairs because one just would not do.

If done well, yes.

With two people heading it…

It's ironic that it will actually function as the Department of Government Deficiency.

With TWO co-chairs.

And have 2 unworthy people run it? Lol so efficient in deed lol

the department of redundancy department

Creating another department because there are too many departments. It’s absolutely genius /s

It’s just a way to give Elon more power.

“Doge” in honor of Elon’s crypto of choice, to grant Elon even more power.

Ministry of Plenty (Newspeak: Miniplenty)

It's necessary in order to teach Trump the meaning of the word "oxymoronic".

youtu.be/wF8jmFoQ7zM

It absolutely is if it means taxpayer money ends up being spent more efficiently.

Anyone else getting Brazil vibes? 🎥

É tipo ter uma reunião recorrente para falar sobre a necessidade das reuniões recorrentes?

Especially with two morons that believe in "Fake News", and one thinks he invented Tesla, even though he just bought it from the two founders....

No Elon just needed to feel important… trump said if I asked him to get on his knees HE WOULD!! So there’s that!!!

It's what we may have to do -- and how many innocent people will be hurt in the meantime -- that scares me.

Don't know if this joke has been made yet but, Welcome to the Department of Redundancy Department.

In Alberta, our conservative gov brought in “Red Tape Reduction”, aimed at a 30% reduction in red tape (however you quantify that). Best part is there’s a website for the public to submit ideas, but government employees can’t suggest internal improvements. Because red tape is only public facing??
