The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)[b] is an initiative of the second Trump administration tasked with cutting federal spending which it characterizes as “waste, fraud, and abuse”.[8] It emerged from discussions between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and was established by executive order on January 20, 2025. DOGE’s actions have included accessing government data systems; organizing mass layoffs of federal workers; and cutting climate change initiatives, scientific research, and DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) programs.

Online banker man turned electric car salesman bought that website you used to use to tell your friends about what the dentist’s waiting room was like or whatever (or yell at celebrities I guess) and used it to help that guy who fired people on tv become president. In return banker car man gets put in charge of shiny new government agency and given the power to fire basically whatever government employees he wants, also his private security detail is deputized by the US Marshals Service, also he has your social security number, probably
I think that should about cover it

He is also addicted to ketamine, yes. I hadn’t heard about the blown apart dick. Clearly I have also been living under a rock.
