They will make their money by fleecing the government of course.

Win a grift by pretending you are an idiot
Your opponent is Elon Musk
I think it'd be simultaneously easier, more productive, and more fulfilling to just take the L.
They are calling it DOGE? 🙄🙄🙄
Also, fuck that guy.
Edit: and by 'that guy' I mean Ramaswamy. Fuck Musk too.
100% Musk's idea. Because he doesn't think the other 8 billion humans on the planet are real people and none of this is of any real consequence to him.
At least they're too cheap and lazy to properly push their fascist takeover.
It's just gonna be rich failsons who are loving off their trust funds. It's gonna be bad
Text book Elon, pay for super smart people and take all the credit for their work and say you're smart because of it. Guy fails upwards
It literally says in the headline they won't be paid....
M-elon Head to run the department of slavery with un-paid workers. What an unstable 'genius'.
Department of Government Efficiency is the name of the department that ends up involved in creating Soylent green or some crazy human organ harvesting thing.
This sets off all sorts of red flags that bother the shit out of me. Like I'll take boring dystopia over human slaughterhouses TYVM
Can this department kick it off by eliminating itself, since it’s a wish.com version of https://www.gao.gov/
Seems like something people would not want to do.
Sorry, I need to like, not starve to death.
Just to make sure I understand. Musk is going to run an orgination who will advise the federal government to cut regulations that are in the way of him making more money. And this is in no way a conflict of interest.
That's specifically why it won't be a government agency. So they won't be bound by any ethics rules. Make no mistake, this is not a silly one-off. This is the first step of privatizing the government.
This message was brought to you by Brando. Water's stupid.
high IQ
work for free
lmao, hard pass. Thanks.
Would you do that, Elon? No you would not. And you'd be tweeting unfunny mocking bullshit at someone who did in any other circumstances.
