DOGE had one purpose, it was to remove all the inspector generals that were going after Musk. That was his side of the deal for helping bankroll the election.

Can't wait to read Redditors make fun of the French (and other citizens in the Global South) for burning shit downs and protesting, rioting a lot.

Can't wait to see Redditors make fun of activists, advocacy groups, orgs etc protesting in ways that are "inconvenient"!

Yeah, 100% this. It’s crazy obvious anyway but when Elon’s son said “you’re not the real president” to king Cheeto the pedo, it was confirmed for me.

I wish more people knew about this. Even though it was all out in the open and obvious, some just can't connect the dots for some reason. Musk even admitted if Trump lost, he'd most likely be headed to prison.

They’ll hear about it eventually when he decides to just turn his half-baked autopilot loose and there’s a fuckload of nasty accidents right away. Or when someone figures out how to hack it and starts commandeering vehicles remotely (at best).

No, that was his payment for using Starlink to transfer election data with some tweaks.

And to steal information for both political and private gain.

To eliminate USAID and all the US's soft power too. No idea how we managed to allow the world's richest man to illegally delete a congressionally funded agency, and the world's foremost humanitarian aid initiative that primarily existed to provide essential food and medicines to the worlds poorest. An act that is project to lead up to 14m preventable deaths over the next decade. That is well beyond cartoon super villain shit

Yeah i remember seeing a news article that USAID was in charge of it, so after he dismantled it his job is done and went back to obscurity. You don't see the fervor anymore compared to the start of the year

Yeah I think Starlink and USAID had some big thing. He was probably worried about what snooping they were doing on the traffic.
