Elon Musk: Project 2025 on steroids.

Deep State is now facing the onslaught from DOGE, a team of rocket engineers and whizz kids, Musk’s acolytes in Silicon Valley, some barely out of college.Primed by the wealthiest man on earth, doing the bidding of the President, they are fanning out across Washington to reduce Deep State to rubble. They are tasked to dismantle vast swaths of the federal bureaucracy—slashing budgets, gutting the civil service, and stripping independent agencies of the ability to impede the President’s objectives.

I can't wait to see DOGE either vaporize the United States Postal Service or run it like Amazon.

Doge does not have that authority. Congress does.

@trollslayer Since Congress won't fix it, President Trump will.

That what they told the DOGE team at USAID until Marc Rubio was appointed Acting Administrator, by the President, as an interim step toward gaining control and better understanding over the agency’s activity.

Similarly, a standoff with a top Treasury official, who had resisted allowing Mr. Musk’s lieutenants into the department’s payment system, which sends out money on behalf of the entire federal government, was put on leave and then suddenly retired after the dispute, according to people familiar with his exit.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave access to DOGE.
