    No, he’s not. He’s faking the entire premise of “DOGE” being about “efficiency” in order to obfuscate the fact that its real goal is to be a partisan purge, replacing career subject matter experts with MAGA loyalists at all levels of the bureaucracy.

    Hell, he’s not even trying to be sneaky about it! It’s just the barest of fig-leaves, cynically designed to act as an exploit against journalistic ethical standards that naively require “objectively” reporting his claims as if they were being made in good faith. Even though the claims blatantly are not and everyone paying attention knows it, including the journalists themselves, the media can’t call out the bullshit without upending decades of tradition and inviting even more attacks (also in bad faith) against their integrity than they’re already getting.

    It would be funny if elon was actually only worth 400 million and not 400 billion.

    Incidentally, his net worth has dropped below 400 billion to 398 billion since i last checked. Is he losing money? Is this anything to do with tesla stock?, because roughly 2 billion is a serious amount of money

    Can we prove it? Is there actual real data showing anything that he HAS found? With real proof?

    Can we support our great President (/s) by showing him where the real inefficiency lays?

      The Public: We want proof of inefficiency.

      Elon: We have proof of inefficiency at home.

      Proof at home: Elon posting a conspiracy theory on Twitter under an alt account and then vaguely confirming the theory under his main account.
