Trump names Musk to co-lead newly formed Department of Government Efficiency

48 comments

Fun fact, the US gov already has a government efficiency division and it’s called the Government Accountability Office. But I do enjoy the irony of Trump’s government having two efficiency departments.
- "TWO EFFICIENCY DEPARTMENTS ARE MORE EFFICIENT THAN ONLY ONE EFFIECIENCY DEPARTMENT."
  
  Every MAGA Trumper lol
  
  You can escape your dash so it doesn't become a bullet.
  
  - like so
  
  \- you need only add a backslash beforehand.
  Same for *other* formatting.
  
  An efficiency department that apparently needs two leaders, as well. Sounds...inefficient.
  
  Don't forget: Math is science too!
- Also I love that the efficiency department has two leaders. Can't get more efficient than that
- Well that one has "accountability" in the name and Trump hates that word.
- Ah, so the Department of Redundancy Department...
- In NZ, David Seymour at least axed the old Productivity Commission (which his own ACT party founded) to create his new Ministry for Regulation.
  
  Apparently they didn't like the answers they got out of the previous version.
  
  Perhaps they kept asking questions that ~~the~~ irritated the PM.
The acronym of the new department - DOGE - coincides with the name of the cryptocurrency Dogecoin that Musk promotes.

Oh my fucking god
- I cringed so hard that I involuntarily did a kegel
- this was musk's play all along, his 'quid' to the 'pro quo' of spending a couple hundred million of his money to put that shitstain back into power.
  
  I wonder how long he's had this name in his head.
- The securities fraud is blatant.
- This mother fucker.
I can't say 100% of america but 50% of america is actually watching and supporting a 2.0 version of my country 90 years ago.

This is CRAZY. in 100 years no one can say they didn't know. They were just stupid.
- What is deutschland?
  
  Where the dutch live, duh
- Yep, I’m an American, and also a history enthusiast with a particular interest in the 20th century, and I’m straight up losing my mind watching this happen dude
Looks like the bribes paid off, musky!
Who is going to head up the Ministry of Truth, the Ministry of Love, the Ministry of Peace, and the Ministry of Plenty?
- We've always been at war with East Asia.
  
  I thought it was Eurasia? Lol
- Puppy Murderer South Dakota bitch is gonna head the Ministry of Internal Peace (Homeland Security).
  
  No, she's already been tapped to be UN ambassador.
  
  I guess the UN delegates need a laugh too.
  
  EDIT: aw, fuck, that was Stefanik. Well, different joke, same punchline I guess.
*checks*

Nope - not Onion.
Oh, Elon will get bored and ignore it once the ketamine wears off the first time.
- Nah, Mush is driven by his need to be one of the "Cool kids". He'll know he's a loser and will spend billions to be excepted by the people he idolizes.
  
  | excepted
  
  Pun or typo?. We'll never know.
When a trust fund child with more money than he knows what to do with thinks he's a genius lol.
- LOL, which one?
I can't wait until this catastrophic head injury stops making shit up and kills me already. That's what's going on, right?
- If I'm your dream you have a lot of explaining to do, ya fucking sadist.
He cut Twitter to 20%. He's a Pro! /s
Fuck this. Let it burn along with the people who wanted this.
Is it a sub division of the Department of Government Redundancy Department?
WTF
As proven from that "your meme game is strong" clip Mush is immune to any sort of self reflection.
I suppose that's fortunate. If anyone else were appointed by Trump to a government position named after a meme cryptocurrency the amount cringe generated could sterilize a continent.
The toddlers are going to be running the day care. Buckle up.
