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.

I have only one suggestion. Privatize the bureaucracy. Make every government employee reapply for their job in the private sector. Companies can bid on the hundreds of contracts based on requirements given them by DOGE. Each company will have deliverables they need to report on monthly. If they fail to do that, hold a contract review meeting and rebid the contract.

We do this now with the Defense Health Agency and other agencies in the government. It will save billions of dollars because the companies will want to keep their margins high so there will be an organic reduction in workforce. Plus it saves the country billions in pension payments.

Elon is not ignorant. He's continuing to run his America PAC as "an anti soros" PAC.

Normally, PACs go somewhat dormant after a big election.@America PAC is going to do the opposite and keep grinding, increasing Republican registrations in key districts around the country, in preparation for special elections and the midterms.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 12, 2024

I trust Elon. Sharing with him what we know about liberal tactics and tricks is a good thing.

America PAC is the Anti-Soros PAC

When an audience member during the Town Hall shouted out "What will you do about Soros?" Elon Musk had a ready response.

America PAC will likely work to get DA's elected across America, and cities desperately need this so that people are protected and safe from crime in cities.

Elon:

"The America PAC is kind of the Anti-Soros PAC. Something has got to be done about it! I don't know what's up with that guy but honestly, putting DA's... it is like the JOKER is in charge.

"Like, electing DA's that don't prosecute crime. Insane. It is like literally Batman and Dark Knight. pic.twitter.com/MJ6jCraNwe— Gail Alfar (@GailAlfarATX) November 10, 2024

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

AND works better and dumped the FBI bullies. Musk rocks.

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

Not to be unkind, but with that kind of thinking, PDJT would not be president-elect. Twice. The magnitude of the problem you describe pales in comparison to the obstacles he has overcome. Twice. Without quitting.

I trust PDJT and Elon to foresee the problems you identify. And overcome them.

Respectfully.

We shall see in due course how this is implemented and handled. But I think we both know that the left is already plotting to sabotage anything and everything that Trump and his administration will attempt to do.

It is not difficult to come up with some obvious ways they might do this concerning Elon's stated plan. Perhaps Elon and crew also plan to just ignore this "citizen's input" and just threw it out there for laughs.

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

OR.... he could have a so-called "AI" review them all in a matter of minutes.

The DOGE is going to be an ‘outside’ program. Government agencies will have no control over it.

But...does he see them, and will he listen? Somehow, we (the True Patriots) need to get Elon’s attention and make him realize what we have learned about the enemy. Forewarned is fore-armed, as my Grandpa used to say.
