"Donald Trump has announced that Elon Musk will head up the newly-created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in his second administration alongside venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy."
@Independent reports: "Under Musk, the new office — which will operate 'outside of government' — will advise on gutting federal departments and which staff should be fired if it deems they are a 'massive waste.'"
@NewsDesk @Independent Only Congress can create a department or agency of the US government. The President doesn't have the authority to create or fund such an entity.
@Seilenos @NewsDesk @Independent He'll just officially call it something else, and advisory panel.
@NewsDesk @Independent
isn’t this “new department” the very definition of massive waste and fraud?
@PandaChronicle @NewsDesk @Independent And ironic that a agency dedicated to efficiency has TWO top directors.
@NewsDesk This definitely won't end up abused with self-motivated decisions by the wealthiest lunatic in the history of the planet. Look at how efficiently he took over Twitter. We're going to have so much efficiency.
I think you're skimming past the fact it was named after a scammy cryptocoin
Department OfGovernmentEfficiency
= doge, as in the meme and Elon's favourite cryptocurrency ($DOGE).
This is very important context.
@NewsDesk @Independent I’m actually embarrassed to live in America right now. Time to move back to Norway.
@NewsDesk @Independent The notion that government needs to be an efficient business is a disease that keeps infecting people who know nothing about government, people like Trump, Musk, and Ramaswamy.
Of the 3, Ramaswamy is the only one who hasn't constantly exhibited a boatload of personal emotional maladies. But, that might down to less visibility.
@NewsDesk @Independent I hope Internal Revenue Service gets it first!
