Is the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency simply just Elon’s edgelord sense of humor taking center stage, a new way for him to make DOGE jokes on X?
Or is he serious about slashing government spending to the tune of trillions of dollars, which will transform the bargain for taxpayers and the Federal Government?
A recent survey from the Bipartisan Policy Center revealed that only 18% of Americans think taxpayer money is spent “efficiently.”
Could Elon be the solution to that?
When he took over Twitter, he immediately gutted the internal staff and business structure, a move that was panned at the time as vengeful and short-sighted.
But today, Twitter runs as smoothly as ever with tons of new features and a (according to Elon) record number of users and engagements.
Could he do the same thing for the Federal Government, the kingpin of all boondoggles?
I honestly don’t have a clue…
And I think Tesla shareholders have a right to question whether all this buddying up around in D.C. is distracting him from what they likely perceive as his central mission.
But I’ll admit…
Elon’s particular brand of chaos can be pretty fun to watch. And whatever comes of the D.O.G.E., I’m at least excited to see what happens next.
To your prosperity,
