    Nothing says “efficiency” like a racist, drug addicted manchild with untreated ADHD who never sleeps.

    He will make it as efficient as he did with Twitter!

    It all starts with a name change, as always. Maybe “Holy Roman empire” will be dramatic enough for his tastes.

    yes lets put the man that single handedly collapsed the EV market and obliterated Twitter in charge of “streamlining” the government, that is a great idea!

      Having Elon anywhere near government anything is a terrible idea and he’s an awful human but what’s this about the EV market? I thought it was doing fine. Twitter though yeah that has been just…a large wtf per minute value for sure.

        yeah if you look at the stats of the market, its been all over sites like Bloomberg and Forbes, the EV market is imploded because “Americans don’t want EVs” but when you break it down by manufacturer the market is overall growing if you excluded tesla, but Tesla is the largest maker in the segment so as they dive the market as a aggregate takes a hit.

    Step 1) Rename the country to something more hip. Possibly USX.

    Step 2) Have everyone sign a pledge to work twice as hard.

    Step 3) Cut everything that has a budget.

    Step 4) Profit?

    This just goes to show that nobody ever graduates school. What happens in elementary school in terms of popularity contests reoccurs in junior high and high school, college, businesses, religions, and governments. Humanity is still in its adolescence and until we actually mature as a species, we will constantly be on the brink of death or we will find a way to make it happen.

    At the suggestion of Elon Musk […] I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government” -Donald Trump

    [Trump noted] the task force would be responsible for “making recommendations for drastic reforms” to the government.

    The fact that this man doesn’t understand that our entire system of checks and balances is what makes recommendations (and implements) drastic reforms, just shows how much of a fascist he is.

    Adding Musk to his own special “task force” meant to “recommend” changes, which would, in reality, just be another avenue of control, is a clear attempt to centralize power.

    Trump made the remarks Thursday during a campaign stop at the New York Economic Club. “At the suggestion of Elon Musk, who has given me his complete and total endorsement…I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government,” Trump said. “Elon has agreed to head the task force,” Trump added while noting that the task force would be responsible for “making recommendations for drastic reforms” to the government.

    Not sure I love the sound of “drastic reforms to the government”. But if we’re stupid enough to give gim the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania again, it’s what we deserve.

      As Gerrymandered as most red states are now and all the voter suppression tactics, I don’t know “stupid enough” would be the cause. The popular vote WILL go to Kamala. It’s whether the gaming of the electoral system can be overcome.

        Those of us ignorant enough to vote for Trump also vote for the Greg Abbott’s and Ron DeSantis’ of the country. It’s not a popular position these days but we, the little people, includes the poo-brained asshats voting for Trump and the fascist takeover of the American South. But they’re too stupid (or more accurately, willfully ignorant) to understand the scope of what voting for maga and maga-adjacent Republicans really means.

        I guess through a kinder lens our maga neighbors don’t have the perspective required to understand the truth of the world they live in. Some might be wholly incapable, but most just don’t care enough to try. But the societal bubble the average maga voter lives it makes the ethos look pretty appealing. The rhetorical techniques used by maga media and personalities are like psyops level effective.

        It would be irresponsible and incorrect to lay it all at the feet of voters or politicians of any political party. Every American is responsible for what’s going on in the country right now.

    Elon Musk nonsense aside, a Department for Government Efficiency is honestly not a bad idea. Apparently, the military is tremendously wasteful, as are most other government departments. This could genuinely save some taxpayer money and free up funds for good things.

      You know it will be used only to go after schools, social programs, or other things they want to destroy.
