    Oh, I’m not worried, any day now the democrats will miraculously put guys like musk in their place. Despite being on the losing end of every political skirmish for the last 50 years and their incessant need to cozy up to oligarchs like him.

    Nothing to worry about here because we’re going to “resist” and “fight” by giving all our political goodwill to a party that will turn it into nothing by losing to 21st century fascists.

    He won’t buy it with his money. He’ll buy with our money. DOGE not being an official department and mostly being a independent contractor means they don’t have to have the same level of accountability for funds that the Government has (or in the Pentagon’s case should have, but nobody in Congress seems to have a spine about stopping the flow of funds until a successful audit happens).

    When they talk about shrinking the Government, they aren’t talking about getting rid of services, they’re talking about privatizing the services. Everyone who keeps thinking “Oh shits going crash if they do that” is forgetting, they’ll just turn those services over to private companies that receive tax dollars for providing that service to the public.
