Translating from neoliberalese, “government efficiency” means tearing apart every utility and government function that a profit can be made out of and sharing between your favorite oligarchs. Think the US healthcare system, but for everything.
For those thinking “well this couldn’t include things like the military”, it ABSOLUTELY CAN AND WILL. The GOP wanted someone who will run the country like a business, AND THIS is how business is run now - absorb a company, strip it for parts to sell off, move onto the next company, repeat. “The next company” here being, likely, another country.
I never get a good answer regarding why they think a government should be ran like a business. They don’t fill the same niches, and the Constitution clearly lays out the role of government:
…form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…
Nothing about consolidating profits into the hands of a few, nothing about profits at all, actually. Nothing about buying/manufacturing and selling goods or services
And why do they always trot out the worst possible examples of businessmen as who they want to run said imaginary corpocountry (Trump is self explanatory, but Romney’s entire ethos was buying companies and bankrupting them)?
Well they don’t actually believe in the constitution
It’s not an invasion, it’s a merger! Perfectly fine!
Have we all forgot that Doge wasn’t originally a crypto? It was a meme. The coin is just riding off of that.
wow
such fascism
much crushing authoritarianism
I never understood that either - why destroy any chance at credibility one might’ve had?
it is a matter of weeks, possibly days, before musk makes a stupid joke about being “head of DOGE” and then photoshops his head onto the picture of the dog.
you have been warned.

What is it North Korea?
Not yet, but he’s working on it!
Make America… What again?
Owned by corporations, apparently.
Musk is vying for government contracts, and it doesn’t take a genius to see that if he’s put in charge of “government efficiency,” he’s going to turn NASA’s research and engineering into skeleton crews. I can guarantee it won’t be Blue Origin picking up the slack after NASA is no longer able to create spacecrafts.
“mine again”
I guess that is how they got Gaetz on board. They meant they wanted to send kids back into the mines and he thought they meant something even more disgusting.
Hey genius, he’s naming it off the same old meme that the crypto coin was named after. Because he’s not just a weird, stupid jackass, he’s also autistic and on “prescription” stimulants.

The “Great Elon Musk”? This is a meme, right? Anon is at it again?
NISSAN, the National Intelligence Social Security Association N… what’s the n-word…n… national!
This isn’t the Idiocracy we were promised! I’d happily take president Camacho over Trump.
What’s “larping” about this?
Lay in the bed you made
72 million people despised the idea of this. I guess they don’t matter to you
I did my part and everyone who voted matters. Those who didn’t get to suffer with the rest of us.
