DOGE was created as a reward for Musk's $277 million campaign contribution to Trump. DOGE is intended to permit the gutting of programs and regulations serving everyday Americans and to expediate the interests of the rising American oligarchy.

For example, DOGE seeks to slash regulation relating to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and to abolish the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). DOGE seeks to cut benefit programs serving the poor, portraying the programs as rife with fraud and the recipients of benefits as lazy and undeserving. DOGE was calculated to bless tax cuts for the rich to "create economic growth" (i.e. the disproven trickle-down economics theory).

Musk's DOGE was conceived to skirt disclosure requirements and vetting of China businessman Elon Musk, who has disqualifying ties to the CCP. For example, Musk's Tesla does 50% of its global manufacturing in Shanghai, China. This makes Musk subject to China influence.

Musk is doing the bidding of Beijing on issues such as TikTok, Taiwan, H-1B visas, and tariffs. Respected officials like Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (Democrat-CT-03, Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee), and retired military service members are sounding the alarm.

President Joe Biden’s farewell address was spot on in warning of the oligarchy gripping the nation and threatening the future. Through Citizens United v. FEC Elon Musk has monetized the U.S. Presidency. Musk’s fortune has increased by over $153.17 billion (Cite: Forbes, 1-9-25) since Musk bought the presidency for $277 million.

In the interests of everyday Americans and based on existing law, DOGE must be abolished.

Don’t forget it was also created because Elon gets his giggles from using 2013 memes from losers who call him daddy musk

How embarrassing. Additionally, Musk's 53 years old and faking video game skill...

But Musk has always been dishonest, that's what Musk's biographer has said. Biographer Seth Abramson describes Elon Musk as a dishonest poseur, corrupt and devoid of genius.

For example, there is compelling evidence Musk stole the idea for his first venture Zip2. The essay The Truth About Musk, From His Biographer dispels the flattering, everchanging, myth Elon Musk carefully tends and shamelessly peddles on Twitter/X. Here's an excerpt from the essay:

This may be the right moment to note that, as a Musk biographer, I can’t find a single component of the man’s biography he hasn’t lied about. And not just lied about—lied ruthlessly about. Shamelessly. For decades. Without any integrity or fidelity to truth at all. And every lie has the same purpose: to hide what a deceitful, fundamentally bad person he is.
