The Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, which actually is noting but a private consulting firm , which will shortly be just Elon Musk’s, and is already shaky…
And?
Musk ain’t gonna be around…
He’s busy dancing with Trump and keeping an eye on Tesla and SpaceX…..
Trump has already said out loud that DOGE has a shelf life of about one year and a half….
Congress has a Government entity that does the same basic function…
But the Government Accountability Office is not controlled by the President….
Ramaswamy’s decision accelerated when Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine passed over Ramaswamy to replace Vice President-elect JD Vance in the Senate on Friday, picking instead his own Lt. Gov. Jon Husted.
Multiple people who discussed Ramaswamy and the inner workings of DOGE were granted anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly and to freely discuss sensitive issues.
On Saturday, Ramaswamy showed up at an all-hands DOGE meeting at the SpaceX headquarters in Washington, according to two people familiar with the department’s inner workings. Musk was not present.
The breakdown of labor between Musk and Ramaswamy, according to one person familiar, was that Musk focused on the big picture while Ramaswamy focused on deregulation; the rest of the staff will focus on implementation. Steve Davis, Musk’s right hand man at SpaceX, functions as his DOGE lieutenant, while Brad Smith, a healthcare entrepreneur and Rhodes Scholar, is Ramaswamy’s main point of contact.
Privately, some in Trump’s world see Ramaswamy’s nascent gubernatorial campaign as a way to clear a path for Musk to do his own work at the agency without him…
…
Musk has already dialed back expectations….
Note…
They are talking about sending just few people to large Government headquarter offices and operating with the Trump Office of managament and Budget….
Those people ALREADY have OTHER jobs , working in OTHER places….
No interaction with Department bureacrats and civil servent’s who DO THE WORK….
Typical Trump Window Dressing?
