Summary
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), touted as a bold initiative to slash federal spending and dismantle bureaucracy, is a rebranding of the Obama-era United States Digital Service (USDS).
The renamed agency will focus on modernizing federal IT and reducing workforce inefficiencies, falling short of its initial promises to cut $2 trillion in spending.
Backlash has emerged, with unions filing lawsuits over concerns of corporate favoritism and lack of transparency.
Critics argue the initiative prioritizes wealthy interests while undermining federal employees and government accountability.
On brand for Musk. Take it over, rebrand it, pretend you made it.
No wonder him and donvict are pals. That’s been donvict’s entire life, too.
