Department of Government Efficiency

The very definition of oxymoron

Until proven otherwise, I fully expect the DOGE to be a total meme, and a goofy little endzone victory dance given Trump's decisive win.

I expect to see the media shit their pants whenever Elon or Vivek so much as farts, but largely I'll be surprised if the department is particularly effectual, decisive or materially active. 

Also:

All actions of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency.

No need for this clarification Elon, we already know lol.

It's been done before:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Partnership_for_Reinventing_Government
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Commission
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Commission
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commission_on_Economy_and_Efficiency
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_on_National_Security_Reform

They never accomplish anything because everything has a constituency and Congress has zero interest in cutting government.

Elon's declaration that people will be able to oppose the cuts guarantees it won't accomplish anything.

Trump himself publicly opposes any cuts to the largest programs. He'll be scared to death to drain the swamp just like last time.
