Elon Musk dodges DOGE scrutiny while expanding his power in Washington

[Castanet News]

Elon Musk made a clear promise after Donald Trump decided to put him in charge of making the government more efficient. "It’s not going to be some sort of...

Sooooo Elon musk is the president?

Keep axing the long term political fence posts and hopefully our next government in Canada will have a similar approach. AXE-THE-DEAD-WOOD at all levels of government and bring spending under control. People must realize they must earn their path to success and not expect it.

The amount of people freaking out about this explains exactly why we have an NDP government in BC and a Liberal federal government.


Cutting funding that drive a nation into debt without bringing any benefits to the nation should be common sense. Especially when those funds don’t even go to doing what they are supposed to do but end up in the hands of high paid CEO’s and Board members.

But please oh wise tax the rich voter explain how feeding the rich right out of the government trough benefits the lowly tax payer.

There looks to be an underlying assumption that what Musk and DOGE are doing they are doing "for the good of all". I can't help but think that might be more than a little naive.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appeared to stumble over her words in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday as she claimed Americans “can’t trust the government.”

The State of the Union host quickly interrupted Noem to point out: “You are the government!”

The majority of American voters we're willing to take that chance and from what I've seen so far, they made the right choice. Bye bye establishment fraud and government waste. We need a DOGE in Canada.

If you're soknowledgeable, please be more specific in what positions need to be cut and what you think Conservatives will do differently. Be specific. I am sick of people complaining and hyperbolizing without any actual facts.

Musty is D A N G E R O U S. He cares only for the 1% not to mention he has hands in the largess with multiple government contracts....

"Musk’s aerospace company SpaceX has received billions of dollars in federal contracts, and could be line for more, while his five other businesses could gain from a lighter regulatory touch."

And, and this bozo cares the average John Q Citizen? Give your head a shake. Just sayin'.

What have you seen this far?
What constitutes the majority of American voters?

Privatization of government services is actually the culprit here. Private companies should not be profiting off tax funded services. These private companies are making billions in profit annually. But sure, a dozen people receiving social security when they don't qualify is the real issue...

The DOGE is just getting started. I'm looking forward to what gets uncovered once they really sink their teeth in.

That's just ignorant. Musk is a racist jerk sociopath and terrible excuse for a human being, just like Trump except somewhat more competent.

This is all about the death of democracy and the reimposition of serfdom.
