So Elon Musk will lead the new Department of Efficiency

Wow! A man whose businesses receive $2 to 3 billion per year in government contracts will be in charge of allocating government spending!! What could go wrong???


Also,

Sounds like the austerity we suffered in UK under Cameron et Al. That's still costing us dear with services on their knees in most areas of the country unable to cope with demand now.

In other words, they're going to cut regulations that get in their way for the private sector and then get the hell out of there so they have no responsibility nor blow back on them.


Just to be clear, the government has a ton of stupid redundancy which makes things less efficient...

But an additional Department is just going to add to that... and not actually going to fix that problem especially when putting two outside businessmen that don't know how the internal side works. And they're going to be there less than two years.


So they're just going to go knock out what's they want out to help their private business and then leave...

Musk's "restructuring" of Twitter put in the company in the deep red, and it has no way of climbing out. If he follows the same path, he's welcome to do what he's been doing for Twitter: selling Tesla stock to shore it up.

Ramaswamy is a swindler.

This is all part of the plan to erase controls over corporate greed and corruption, plus getting rid of anyone who opposes or has prosecuted Trump.

I do think the U.S. government (actually all governments) is bloated and that has always needed some work, but not with the aim of destroying safeguards.

Looking forward to it 👍

Bad government is always a result of too much government

Adding a whole department is the least efficient thing possible

What could go wrong ?

Best thing ever.

the missing word in all of these conversations (and I agree with you bad idea) but the word is

austerity i think once that word is inserted into the plans the base idea starts to be less clouted.

i think a lot of the blame is for our media outlets not using the one word that captures the Trump parties broad plan moving forward. although to be fair i am not sure most Americans understand austerity as a economic policy or know squat about economics but we saw how austerity played out in other countries recently with Greece being a good place to look

No wonder he wants the senate to adjourn - so we cannot see the blatant obvious conflict of interest here.

DOGE 😂

Apparently this has no real authority. It has to go through congress, the suggested waste, and although it's republican controlled, they still have to pass it through, to get rid of the waste.

Oh sheesh, he's gonna be thrown away. Trump no longer needs him. That's how expedient and effiencent Trump is. Musk also never needed him, all Musks stocks went up after Trumps win and he's moved without having any income and taken out another loan.

The rest is just a charade.

Not biased at all. 🙄

Could that mean you guys in maintenance can get the screws you needed without having going through congress?

Government efficiency is an oxymoron

Just like he started to defund the mail and social security.
