this means nothing to them.

Sadly, I agree…

Elon Musk Met With Iran’s U.N. Ambassador, Iranian Officials Say

The tech billionaire, a top adviser to President-elect Donald J. Trump, was reported to have discussed ways to defuse tensions between Iran and the United States.

What does foreign affairs have anything to do with gov efficiency? Why is he meeting with Iranian officials on behalf of the US gov? He's not a gov official and Trump isn't in office yet so his not gov job isn't official yet.

He’s probably trying to get back the eleventy billion dollars that Obama and Biden handed them. Just a guess.

Do you want Trump, Gaetz and other Republicans to ban all 3 letter government agencies, including the DOJ? How about the 4 letter ones, such as the USDA?

They should be overhauled for sure.

Here's one interesting take on the Gaetz situation. Not my take. But interesting.

President Trump Announces Nomination of Matt Gaetz for U.S. Attorney General - The Last Refuge

In what can only reasonably be described as a MOAB targeted directly to Main Justice, President Trump has nominated Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz to be United States Attorney General. [Source] Making the nomination strategy that much more interesting, Matt Gaetz resigned his position within...

Are you sure that’s not your take? I read the article and am certain you actually wrote it. I’ve had plenty of experience reading your posts (including your sock accounts’). Congrats on getting published by the esteemed Conservative Tree House! That’s quite the accomplishment.

So DOGE is taking applications only via X DM. That requires a verified X account... i.e., it's a way to increase paying X accounts.

Looking for people to work 80+ hours a week unpaid. HAHA. Who can afford financially and personally to do that?

Elon Musk's new 'department' seeks 'super high-IQ' staff for unpaid jobs

Musk said “compensation is zero” for the “revolutionaries” who will advise on cuts to the federal budget.

www.nbcnews.com

“Indeed, this will be tedious work, make lots of enemies & compensation is zero,” he wrote. “What a great deal!” No, what a bad deal. With 80 hours and no pay it shouldn't take a high IQ to reject that job, unless maybe retired. I'm not sure Musk is serious.

The Logan Act is a United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony punishable with imprisonment for up to three years.

Doesn't matter what he's trying to do, it's illegal unless he was asked to speak with them by the Biden Administration

I’m not holding my breath on anyone being held accountable for anything for a while.

But even as he has threatened to cut jobs, Musk has in the past week turned to close friends to fill new government roles that could also affect his six companies, including Tesla, SpaceX and X, people close to the transition and Musk say. (ding,ding,ding- We have a winner!!!!)

You and I have both had to complete government ethics training recently. This would be a violation.

Can't remember his name now but a senator from Oklahoma used to put out an annual report on government waste. Didn't need a whole department.

I fear this new DOGE will be nothing but a dog and pony show. Hope I'm wrong.

Heck there's probably so much low hanging fruit when it comes to government inefficiency that the media could do a story a week and keep busy the next 4 years. Well if we had a media that actually cared about that sort of thing.

Yeah there's no chance anyone is held accountable for the next decade. We wont even pretend to prosecute now.

I know they've always gotten a pass, but keep it out of sight behind the curtain and let me pretend things are remotely fair. Haha

Dangit! You're on to me. Yes, I in fact, actually wrote the article. Take a lap idiot.

I bet IRS is first on the block so they can cut manpower and prevent those pesky audits of the rich.

Tom Coburn. I had more respect for him than maybe any politician ever.

Like I said. We are back to running the government like it was the 1890s. All my friends get big jobs and I line my pockets openly.
