Elon Musk says 'all actions' taken by Department of Government Efficiency will be online: 'Transparency'
Fox News via Yahoo ^ | November 13, 2024 | Elizabeth Pritchett

Elon Musk, who was selected by President-elect Donald Trump to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, shared some insight on X on Tuesday into how the department will operate.

Musk said that the department will take suggestions and concerns from everyday Americans regarding how the government spends money.

"Anytime the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know!" Musk said in part in the X post.

Musk also said all the department's actions "will be posted online for maximum transparency."

"We will also have a leaderboard for [the] most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining," he wrote.

Let's keep in mind that Musk fired 80% of Twitter employees and the website still works.

He’ll need 100,000 employees just to get through the suggestion box in a timely manner.

Indeed ‘Transparency’ is a target for those who waste the money.

Pink slips ensue

The Deep State and institutional leftists will scream bloody murder so loudly that the average American will just want it to stop.

So cram absolutely everything into the first two years, assuming the last two years are just defense. Give the economy time to recover so that Vance rides that wave in 2028.

Musk needs to understand horrors like 'George Soros and Media Matters' will fill up their computers with fake citizen making 'suggestions' that are nothing more than the hate of 'liberal elties and WOKESTERS'. This will be done to mislead. Musk has no idea how much evil there is in Washington.

It's NOT just 'rent a mob' or 'buy a riot' type stuff that thesek WOKE 'organizers' do. They also create fake realities to squash the true voices of citizens. They birthed fake hate crimes. Take it slow Musk - playing fair with these evil ones is what they want.

Creating a Department of Government Efficiency is the typical Washington way of dealing with any perceived problem. Rather than creating a new department, start by combining energy, transportation, and commerce into one department and firing half the bureaucrats.

They will be overwhelmed on day one, and never catch up. Saboteurs will just swamp the site with hundreds of thousands of inane "suggestions."

No, just pick up an axe and start hacking away.

My question about this Department of Government Efficiency it’s whether it will be an actual government department or something that does not have to be statutorily authorized. Also, will the appointments of Musk and Ramaswamy need to be cleared through the Senate. Right now Trump’s thinking seems to be that this entity will exist outside of the government and basically be advising it. Does anyone here have more of an idea about it than I do?

If it is within the government, then it would have to be authorized by Congress, probably as another cabinet position.

“Musk needs to understand horrors like ‘George Soros and Media Matters’ will fill up their computers with fake citizen making ‘suggestions’...”


Like Rush stated multiple times: ‘We found that nearly all of the negative comments we receive come from a ‘small apartment’ (I cannot remember the exact description) with 10,000 phones each with a different identity...we ignore them...’

Sunshine on the rats nest.

Bright, blazing, pounding UV-soaked sunshine on the rotten workings of EVERY agency.

This most detrimental result of the 20th Century wars was the adoption of the idea that there were secrets people didn’t need to know. It infected everything in government.

Burn it all with the light - no rest, no respite.

And a fair number of those fake calls started with the phrase, "I've been a Republican my whole life BUT... (then fill in the blank trashing Republicans).

People who don't understand that democrats are the 'people of the lie' keep getting taken. Someone needs to send this Rush information to Musk... it takes a long time to figure out what these monsters really are - and how much they hate a free society.

In the years since Rush these evil ones have gotten worse. Maybe the useless FBI can look into this... let's keep citizens speech free from the pollution of the professional liars - the scum of the earth...

Does anybody remember the Grace Commission under Reagan? How about the execution of the many recommendations made by the Commission? Few do. Let’s hope this turns out better.

Who do you hire to clean your house?

When your house is the gubmint, you hire an African-American businessman with more FU money than almost anyone on planet Earth.

This is perfect.

Trump plays the good cop with the swamp.

Musk drains the swamp like Hercules flushed out the Augean stables.
