Summary
Former White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney dismissed the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as a “PR campaign,” noting it lacks statutory authority and cannot implement changes independently.
While praising Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s goals to cut bureaucracy and waste, Mulvaney emphasized DOGE must rely on Congress or the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to enact reforms.
He highlighted Russ Vought, the incoming OMB Director, as important to the initiative’s success, despite Musk and Ramaswamy’s higher profiles.
He did nearly bankrupt Tesla after he stole the company from its original founders and demanded that the cars have flush-fitting door handles, completely ignoring his engineers advice that the R&D would be extremely expensive and time consuming because of the safety regulations requiring the handles to still be functional after a crash.
Read about what he did to Paypal too. Same shit. Elon is a moron.
