That’s been his entire career, has it not?
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.
All this was inspired by the principle – which is quite true within itself – that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.
It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.

Let’s dispel with this fiction that Elon Musk doesn’t know what he is doing. He knows exactly what he is doing.
(Fuck you, Marco Rubio, I’m stealing your bitch ass quote and detourning that shit.)
Musk may be an idiot in a lot of ways, but he knows how to leverage his power over others.
Wow, that’s some terrible writing.
Honestly who fucking cares if DOGE is actually efficient. Elon is an appointed executive branch official who hasn’t been confirmed by the senate. He is wielding power unconstitutionally and needs to be removed immediately.
Does he need to lie? When you take an axe to the entire federal hovernment you’re bound to save money, same as the average person would if they stopped buying food and paying mortgage. You may end up homeless and possibly dead but it will reduce your spending.
But they are not. They are cancelling contracts where they have to pay damages, laying off people who probably were retiring anyway for a half year and paying them. None of that saves money
Department of Government Enrichment
except that it isn’t the government it’s enriching…
Department of Gelon Enrichment?
Its Path of Exile again, but the game is the world this time.
Just like Goring lied to Hitler.
He’s been faking FSD for a while now, this is even easier to get away with.
So standard operating procedure he uses at Tesla? Of course he is
Oh I like that lady’s sign: “Department of Greedy Elon” is perfect.
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
One might say, he’s dodging reality… I’ll see myself out…
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.
