Department Of Government EXCESS

It was all BS from the beginning and the Republicans knew it all along. Trump voters who have buyers remorse should have red project 2025, it was all spelled out in black and white. Can’t claim one didn’t know this would happen either.

If he had been "efficient" in this exercise & handled it methodically & planned, instead of slap dap, perhaps, it could have been culled properly. This should have taken months to do; not in short time. How much is this costing us plus what is end cost to us? How did he get so rich?

What's the point of eradicating a budget deficit if you totally hamstring your country by destroying its potential to innovate, do research, educate, attract tourists etc etc etc?

Elon Musk seems more like a moron than a genius.

@theatlantic.com Doge is not an actual government agency - where is that anywhere in your posts?

We know Elon lies.

the deficit will go down once all his kids start paying taxes #ImpregnateMeElmo

Are they still updating the website...

Why is there no official report or scheduled hearings on the “waste and fraud” this mope was supposed to uncover? Where are the numbers? Where are the savings? Will there be any official numbers released?

Musk will make America inefficient. Musk will kill expertise. Musk will disrupt effective government processes & science. Musk is mistake driven. Musk is not competent in government. Musk will amplify Trump madness. Must, added to Hegseth & Vance, is an omnishambles. Musk will fail.

Unemployment will increase, there will be less money being spent from people not working. Tariffs will increase prices, so less money being spent. Consumer sentiment is down. People will only buy necessities. Less money coming in, means increasing deficit. Basic economics 101!

He’s a liar and a failure…how os that not apparent to anyone watching?

It’s never been about waste, fraud and abuse. That’s just a cover for something far more nefarious.

Why hasn’t he been brought before Congress?

More false promises from Elon Musk. Thank you Wisconsin!

But that’s not the point, is it, so stop playing to this bullshit and writing stories about it. This is a coup by racist, white, christian, nationalist’s and a giveaway to billionaires. Everything else is a smoke screen.

Can you please put graphics on highway billboards in red districts?

Imagine that…

more than likely be reinstated. We Taxpayers will have to pay for perished goods sitting in storage. Funds gutted to myriad Research Programs, especially in Health, will cost us all dearly, if not reinstated.

Just the $500 billion lost to the tax cheaters due to IRS cuts will cause a massive increase in the deficit all on its own. Musk hasn't cut shit in reality. Every time he puts up some numbers they get debunked the same day. And even the fake numbers don't add up to much at all.

The extraordinary hubris of Musk will end badly. The guy has no idea what he's doing. Nazis have a bad history of running governments.

It's almost as if low-level government workers' salaries weren't the major cost. But perhaps, instead, it's a few overpaid government contractors (like Starlink) who are the real drain. Crazy.

He always was bad at math.

Weird. He’s 1) always been accurate with his claims, predictions and promises before and 2) been an expert in all things government/economics for YEARS, right?

It's pretty obvious this coup is not about saving the american public money, its about reducing impediments to their take over of government & increase the size of the pool of money for them to grab it!

Is this fake genius done yet? Can we just give him a shitty ribbon to fuck off?

Which probably was the plan all along.

Call me not surprised

But surely a genius could see the error of his ways. Perhaps his narcissism is getting in the way.

Cutting National Parks and IRS funding alone will add to the deficit yah? Anyone keeping a tally of revenue generating programs that have been severely cut by Department of Inefficiency? www.frommers.com/trip-ideas/n...

Never in his life has he been responsible for the welfare of a lot of people while operating on a shoe string. He had no idea that was even a thing. Oops. Then he takes his billions and goes home with our marbles while we try to clean up the aftermath. Sounds exactly like what I would expect.

Jon Chait is a TERF and wrong about 90% of everything else, don’t read this even if you agree w it

Of course he would believe this because the only reason Elon Musk used to vote for Democratic candidates is because they would vote to give subsidies to his companies so he thinks everyone is transactional like he is for their vote.

I’m seriously wondering how Musk became so successful as he really doesn’t seem to be a very good businessman nor especially intelligent.

Not to worry!! Musk's companies will get cushy new contracts to handle the services. Sure, it'll cost more in the long run and allow him to personally decide which services he thinks Americans deserve and which people get them but he's given us no reason not to trust his judgement, right? 😒

Maybe The Atlantic thinks the new admin will do kosher accounting. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Don’t count on it. They’ll use “founders math” and “VC voodoo” hand waving, cherry picking of narratives to prop up their story. They’ll summon deep research AI to conjure believable bullshit that will flood the zone.

Cutting your head off may not be the best way to lose thirty pounds.

📌

Elon hitler is spending tax money faster than the treasury can print it and we are on track for a record deficit. Fixed that headline for you 😡

Well, getting sued- to-death for illegally firing people is kinda' expensive, isn't it?!

It's privatization without regulation and no representation.

I stopped paying all my bills - Look how much money I have!

Americans want idiocracy at this point.

The goal is absolutely to incapacitate the government! They never actually believed they would be cutting waste and fraud, that was their way in and MAGAs still believe it today, even when shown the facts using actual math. Read Project 2025.

Absolute grift.

the billionaires have divided us #unite

With all this “ fraud” where are the arrests?

Musk can really shovel that manure.

Maybe he’ll make up for it by donating some Tesla stock to the federal coffers…oh, right, never mind.

He put any so called savings to billion dollar contracts for him. No compete contracts. Illegal!

Oh my god! Just like EVERYONE WITH A BRAIN SAID IT WOULD!

More importantly, many real people are now unemployed, their expertise denied to the provision of services for all American people.

Please stop focusing on the stated goal of savings; this is all about dismantling the federal gov't, mainly in ways that benefit him AND that feed into the right-wing rage machine.

This is,what happens when you let amateurs run the government. You end up spending a fuckton more money cleaning up the mess they made.

grifter's gonna grift

It is a huge robbery, nothing else.

The coup is the point, not the budget.

Which is probably why Trump suggested (1/2025) that Congress eliminate the Debt Ceiling!

It will increase the deficit! So much waste in DOGE.

When they started DOGE I assumed they would not be so stupid to fire IRS staff, as those are obviously the ones who bring the money in. But as it turns out, I stand corrected: Trump and Musk are absolute fucking morons...

1. Want to be serious and cut the budget? The rich must pay higher taxes. Lucrative corporations must pay higher taxes. 2. You are not serious if step one is giving the rich a HUGE $4.7 Trillion tax cut. They don't need it!

📌

Anyone who believes these fools is a fool with them

These Russian Republicans can’t fix anything, all they do is create chaos!

Another lie

Wait until the idiot finds out that in his zeal, he cut the funds for all his government contracts. 🤣

Chaos and dysfunction are the goals, not saving money.

#KoupKlutzKlan must go! Tired of pretending the Dollar Gen tech billionaire Bond villain administrative coup is legitimate government.🙃
