    It’s incredibly sad that they will never have consequences from what they did with this. Any functioning society will lock Musk and everyone up as soon as possible

    They probably reached their goal. It was never about efficiency. That was just the PR spin to sell it to the public. It was about getting rid of pesky regulatory bodies which stood in the way of making more money. Especially those who hindered Musk’s companies.

    The USA is currently experiencing the end phase of capitalism: massive corruption turning into open corruption with an economic oligarch class fusing with the government, massive income gaps and problems for regular citizens, class and culture wars plus reappearance of fascism to keep the population busy with culture wars among themselves instead of uniting against the exploiters, and so on. But it just started in USA. It’s already swapping over to other western democratic countries as well.

    You becoming a neo-nazi by constantly being served right-wing propaganda on company-controlled social media channels is better for their business than if you were a neutral, critical thinker. It’s why Twitter was worth the 40 billion for Musk. Not because he expects it to ever repay itself. But because he can produce more loyalists by influencing what the algorithm shows and hides for you. Nazis are great for them because they’re busy fighting against other parts of the population while giving the wealthy class a free pass to do what they want. Which is more money, more influence, more exploitation.

    Bunch of fucking murderous pieces of shit. They all deserve to be publicly beaten within an inch of their lives. Then they deserve to be denied medical assistance. I hope they all drown in baby shit.

    It ain’t over until members of DOGE and Musk have been put to sleep. They will just do this again, when the Regime needs vandals to do the dirty deeds.

    I mean there’s no win for Americans here. They did what they wanted with it and made off like bandits.

    And the United States of America isn’t big on justice so there won’t be any.

    The armed guards in the lobby of the first agency they raided should have shut down the DOGE Pirates right there in that lobby with extreme prejudice. That’s the very reason they carry guns. Instead, they just let them in.

    Then we could have fought it out in court, like we should have.

    This administration is extremely effective at getting things done. I don’t think I’ve ever seen its equal as far as how many things they are doing. Unfortunately most of those things are to enrich the few and you can bet your ass there was a reason closing DOGE up so quickly done. Good luck finding out why though.

    I hope this doesn’t mean USDS shuts down. I wanted to apply there assuming it would return back to its software development roots.

        I beg for you to reinterpret my comment my guy. I don’t really want to explain it to you, but to put it shortly: you got the wrong message from it

            No problem. USDS wasn’t always about ‘efficiency’ and used to be a way for digital services to be made. For example, if Medicare for All were to happen, who makes the web dashboard for every American to log into? Before doge was a thing, it would have been USDS. Hopefully Trump doesn’t kill the office is what I’m saying, so whenever we get Medicare for All through it’ll be made by some competent people and not claude or fable or whatever the next hot AI slop generator is.

            There are several million people who work in the various agencies who do good work. Regular people. Don’t mix up the regular 9-5 people who are doing their best with the elected officials

        You want there to be no internal friction? You want no-one who can later recall what’s been broken and where the parts have been scattered?
