If you oppose Elon Musk and Doge's federal audit, you're involved in money laundering. We deserve to know how our tax dollars are spent. The government's wasteful spending is outrageous; they spend money on ridiculous things, like studying Thanos' snap and animal surgeries. They also wasted billions in USAID. It's time for a federal audit—a 10% audit is needed because the government is constantly interfering in our lives. Finally, someone is holding them accountable. Tomorrow's Super Bowl will feature Elon Musk's $40 million ad campaign exposing government waste. This is fantastic news!

People are angry at Elon Musk for exposing financial issues, but shouldn't we be more concerned with what politicians are doing with our money? Whether you like Musk or not, the money he's uncovering affects everyone, so gratitude might be more appropriate than hate. I believe Doge is beneficial for America. The level of corruption is mind-blowing. People are acting emotionally instead of logically. How can politicians accumulate wealth far exceeding their salaries? Instead of questioning Musk's position, consider the bigger picture: Many of us support him, and he's working to improve America's financial standing.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are meeting with Republican lawmakers to discuss plans to cut $2 trillion in government spending. They aim to address wasteful spending, with bipartisan support emerging, including from progressive figures like Bernie Sanders, who acknowledges the need to eliminate waste in the Pentagon budget. Senator Joni Ernst, a leader in the initiative, emphasizes her long-standing focus on government waste and the need for legislative solutions. Senator John Cornyn highlights the urgency of addressing federal debt and inefficiency, noting that many Americans are dissatisfied with the current direction of the country. The goal of the initiative, referred to as Doge, is to restore citizens' influence over government and reduce its dominance in their lives.

We're witnessing the implications of having Dogecoin integrated into our system, heavily influenced by Elon Musk. The current bill proposes cutting funding for crucial research areas, including pediatric cancer, early detection of cervical and breast cancer, and conditions like Down syndrome and sickle cell anemia. These cuts are aimed at providing tax breaks for billionaires, reflecting Musk's idea of efficiency.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have introduced the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) to address government waste. They argue that the current government structure, dominated by unelected bureaucrats, contradicts the founders' vision and imposes heavy costs on taxpayers. Doge aims to roll back excessive regulations, streamline federal agencies, and eliminate wasteful spending. Key actions include suspending illegitimate regulations, reducing the federal workforce, and ensuring efficient use of taxpayer dollars. The goal is to make Doge obsolete by July 4, 2026, establishing a leaner, more accountable government aligned with the founders' ideals.

Doge arrived at the IRS and is now helping review government spending, starting with NASA. We're planning to slash departments by 30-40% if they can't justify their headcount and selling unused federal buildings. We've discovered taxpayer money is being used to fund things like Palestinian hip hop and bizarre animal experiments. The Department of Health and Human Services has also spent billions on cars and homes for migrants. The EPA was caught rushing to spend tax dollars on questionable projects, including a climate fund with a now-deleted board of directors page. Trump's administration is offering buyouts to federal workers, and 75,000 have already accepted. We're addressing government waste and fraud that has been ongoing for years. The goal is to reform and cut wasteful spending.

Doge's goal is to cut the federal deficit by $1 trillion by reducing waste and fraud, aiming for a 15% reduction in federal spending without affecting critical services. They claim to routinely find wastes of a billion dollars or more, citing a $1 billion survey example. Doge aims to cut $4 billion a day in waste and fraud. A key project involves digitizing the government retirement process, currently a paper-based system housed in a mine with 400 million documents. The goal is to reduce processing time from months to days. Doge is also addressing fraudulent Social Security claims, including instances of benefits being stolen and payments made to deceased individuals. They aim to ensure legitimate recipients receive more benefits, not less. Doge is working to modernize government IT systems, including those at NIH, where there are 27 different CIOs and 700 IT systems that don't communicate. They are also addressing duplicative functions and overstaffing across various agencies, such as the IRS. The Treasury is implementing stricter financial controls to prevent fraud and improper payments, which amount to hundreds of billions of dollars annually. They are reviewing contracts and grants, citing examples of wasteful spending, such as a customer service survey contract. Elon Musk addressed violence against Tesla dealerships, attributing it to propaganda from the far left. He also defended his criticism of Senator Mark Kelly's stance on Ukraine, stating that officials should prioritize the interests of the United States.

I spent over an hour and a half with Vivek and Elon, discussing numerous ideas that left us both laughing and shaking our heads at the waste we uncovered. It's clear that the introduction of Doge is timely. We're committed to implementing pro-growth economic policies while also tackling government waste, fraud, and abuse. Our system is shifting from a democracy to a bureaucracy, and that needs to change.

I've been watching Democrats on TV constantly yelling "Elon Musk" over and over. Honestly, I'm enjoying it. What I find amusing is that they're angry at the person who exposed the fraud, but not at those who misused taxpayer money. Since Congress obviously can't cut a budget, I want to thank Elon for stepping up and doing our job.

The speaker praises a "Doge" segment for revealing government workings, incentives, and potential fraud. They were unaware of a mine in Pennsylvania until Doge highlighted it. Doge also exposed issues like Social Security problems and a lack of oversight in the Treasury. The speaker believes leftists project their own instincts onto Doge, assuming ulterior motives like greed, unable to fathom an altruistic endeavor from successful individuals. They view leftist attacks and violence as a result of confusing actions with individuals, disliking people for their beliefs rather than the specific acts. The speaker believes Doge is something neither Republicans nor Democrats would have attempted until Trump, who inspired modernizing the government. This scares "corrupt dinosaurs" who feel threatened by Trump.

A recent poll reveals that 67% of people believe the US federal debt is unsustainable, and 60% think Doge is helping make major cuts in government expenditures. Robert Blouie notes that people are fired up about Elon Musk making cuts that politicians have only promised. Dan Turrentine agrees, stating Democrats are too focused on how Musk is doing it. The poll shows 72% of Democrats want reduced government expenditures, but creating that change can be chaotic. Turrentine believes Democrats need to be more open to cuts and not just raising taxes. Blouie thinks Musk could be more aggressive given the massive deficit, as it is a spending problem, not revenue. Turrentine says the real test will come when Congress starts trying to pass the reconciliation bill because it is the only way to get real deficit and debt reduction.

There's support for clearing government waste on both sides of the aisle, but also concern about the access Musk and Doge staffers have to sensitive data, especially given Musk's investments with China and billions from the government. When PayPal was owned by Elon Musk, there were no security breaches. The IRS is a nightmare, with folks not back to work years after COVID. As a Congressman, it takes me up to six months to get a response regarding constituent concerns. The IRS has hundreds of groups with access to sensitive data. People are only complaining now that Elon Musk is involved. The only reason to ask questions is if you're doing something crooked. Congressmen will have red faces when this paper trail leads back to them. People are pitching a fit because Musk is making needed changes.

The courts are the first line of defense against illegal activity. I'm working with lawyers bringing these cases forward, and we're seeing many temporary restraining orders issued recently. This reflects the Trump administration's illegal use of executive orders to bypass Congress and make sweeping changes. I'd like to see Doge and Project 2025 put up for a vote in Congress; I believe they would fail. Trump avoided these issues on the campaign trail because they're unpopular. Now, he's using executive orders to push them through and has Elon Musk doing his "dirty work".

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami have proposed the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) to address government waste and inefficiency. They argue that the current system is dominated by unelected bureaucrats, which contradicts the founders' vision of elected governance. Doge aims to roll back excessive regulations, streamline federal agencies, and eliminate wasteful spending. Key actions include suspending illegitimate regulations, reducing the federal workforce, and ensuring taxpayer dollars are used efficiently. The ultimate goal is to make Doge obsolete by July 4, 2026, aligning government with the founders' vision and creating a more accountable system for future generations.

I welcome Elon Musk to come to the briefing room, as he provided great answers and common sense yesterday in the Oval Office regarding Doge. There's no lack of transparency; Doge has an X account, a website posting contracts and stopped payments, making our government efficient. Before, it was unnamed bureaucrats. Now, Musk is under scrutiny for his access, but we're transparent and happy to provide receipts. Here are examples: a DEI contract for US citizenship, a contract for inclusive innovation, and climate change spending in Sri Lanka. These are line items Doge identifies daily. We're providing transparency about Doge's findings, like the Federal Employee Retirement System processing in Pennsylvania. These actions are fraudulent, wasteful, and an abuse of taxpayer dollars, contrary to the President's agenda.

- The conversation opens with a reflection on Doge from Elon Musk’s perspective. Musk says the Doge government project was “a little a little bit successful” and claims they “stopped a lot of funding for that… that really just made no sense,” noting that 2–3% of government payments were unnecessarily sent without proper codes or explanations, which made stopping the waste difficult. - When asked if he would do Doge again, Musk says no, and suggests that instead of Doge he would have worked in his companies and not had the cars running. - On irrational fears, Musk says he tries not to have irrational fears and squelches any he identifies. - If starting from scratch today with a thousand dollars, Musk recalls originally coming to North America with about 2,500 Canadian dollars (roughly $2 US) and says that with the knowledge he has now, it would require Armageddon or a terminal failure of civilization for that scenario to be plausible again; otherwise he could recruit funding based on the high returns he can promise. - In the Katie Miller podcast episode, the host takes Musk back to January 20 (in the Roosevelt Room) and asks what happened next with Doge. Musk explains Doge stemmed from Internet suggestions; it was initially intended to call the Government Efficiency Commission, but the Internet suggested Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE. - On success, Musk reiterates they were “a little… somewhat successful,” citing the elimination of wasteful payments and the example of eliminating a large portion of zombie payments through requiring a payment code and explanation. - Would Musk start Doge again from scratch or know what he knows now? He says no, and notes that rather than Doge, he would focus on his companies and avoid the funding backlash from stopping money flows to political corruption. - After DC experiences, Musk expresses that the aim is the least government intervention possible, but he highlights a major concern: large transfer payments to illegal immigrants, arguing that citizenship fast-tracking and government payments create a powerful pull factor, effectively “voter importation.” - On AI, Musk believes AI and robotics will eventually provide all goods and services, making work optional; he distinguishes his predicted outcomes from what he wishes would happen, acknowledging the rapid pace of AI advancement and the difficulty in slowing it. - Sleep and routine: Musk averages about six hours of sleep per night; he tracks sleep using ex-posts and a phone app, finding five hours fifty-six minutes as a recent average. He emphasizes information triage and minimizing context switching to manage inbound communications across Tesla, SpaceX, X (Twitter), and personal matters. - On people and leadership, Musk describes President Trump as very funny and “naturally funny,” and says the funniest person he knows in real life is Trump who can be effortless in humor. - God and religion: Musk says God is the creator and acknowledges that the universe came from something, noting that people have different labels. - About space, Musk emphasizes Starship’s potential for full and rapid reusability and calls life becoming multi-planetary one of the top evolutionary milestones, alongside multicellular life and life branching from oceans to land. He states Starship is capable of enabling sustainable multiplanetary life, with Starship not using AI in its creation. - He clarifies that Tesla and X AI both contribute to improving life on Earth, and stresses that Mars would be dangerous and uncomfortable in early days; it would be risky with high chances of death, and early settlers would face hardship rather than an escape from Earth. - On Starbase, Musk describes it as an inspirational city and a rocket factory by the Rio Grande on a sandbar; Starbase is legally incorporated as a city with tax-exempt status, a milestone akin to Disney World as a company town. He notes Cape Canaveral proximity and recalls visiting Disney World multiple times with his kids; Space Mountain is his favorite ride but could use an upgrade. - On fashion, Musk laments that styles have not evolved much since 2010–2015 and argues for more distinctive, era-defining fashion—suggesting higher collars, bolder silhouettes, and more personality in wardrobe. - Conspiracy theories: Musk says he hasn’t seen evidence of aliens; he does confirm that Neil Armstrong and others walked on the Moon and jokes that they even played golf there. He notes there is gravity on the Moon (one-sixth) and that there is no atmosphere. - The biggest misconception about Musk: the general belief that he is a difficult boss; he counters with praise for the mission-driven loyalty of his employees and characterizes his workplaces as highly inspirational. - On Starbase’s origin, he reveals the desire to create something inspirational and notes Starbase’s proximity to Disney World as part of the branding and cultural context. - For a hypothetical dinner party, Musk names Shakespeare, Ben Franklin, and Nikola Tesla, and envisions a grand 12-course meal; he jokes about possibly including a tiny cheeseburger as one course. - Closing note: the episode wraps with thanks and a tease for the next installment.

Donald Trump recently announced the formation of a new Department of Government Efficiency, or Doge, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. However, it's important to note that only Congress can establish federal departments. Trump's move appears to promote Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency he supports, which has seen a significant rise recently. Musk and Ramaswamy plan to cut $500 billion from the federal budget and reduce the federal workforce by 95%, arguing that many employees are unnecessary due to anticipated deregulations. This could lead to unregulated financial markets and environmental concerns, as well as impacts on healthcare access.

Do any of you still like America? It's shocking that people are upset about Doge while our government has been wasting money on ridiculous projects for years. For example, $7 million on magic studies, $1.5 million using kittens to study motion sickness, and $6.9 million on smart toilets that recognize users. We spent $118,000 to see if a metal Thanos could snap his fingers and $75,000 on a study of lizards blown off trees with leaf blowers. In 2023, $150.7 billion went to those protesting and burning flags. If you don’t like America, feel free to leave. Those in power are benefiting from this global money laundering, and it’s time to reconsider where you stand.

I'd love to have Elon Musk come to the Briefing Room, especially after his informative visit to the Oval Office yesterday. We've been incredibly transparent about Doge's work. They're actively tweeting updates and posting contract receipts on their website, showcasing how they're making our government more efficient. Before Doge, these issues were handled by unknown bureaucrats. Now, Elon Musk, is under scrutiny for bringing these issues to light, providing needed transparency. We're happy to provide the receipts, like these DEI contracts totaling millions, including one for climate change in Sri Lanka. These are the kinds of wasteful expenditures Doge is uncovering daily. Many Americans weren't even aware of things like the federal employee retirement system being processed in a mine in Pennsylvania until Elon Musk spoke up. This is fraudulent, wasteful, and an abuse of taxpayer dollars.

The speaker asserts there is waste in government spending, which was the idea behind "doge." Elon Musk did not find $2 trillion, but he only worked on it for 130 days. The idea that there must be a perpetual audit of government is now embedded in everyone's head, regardless of political affiliation. The brand for this idea is "Doge."

The speaker credits the president for enabling Elon Musk's involvement with Doge. They also praise the president for allowing an outside team of experts to analyze government departments and identify potential cuts. According to the speaker, this team found $160 billion in annual administrative cuts. However, these cuts require congressional approval. The speaker acknowledges that some Republicans are not in favor of the necessary austerity measures to enact these cuts.

Doge has saved at least $170-200 billion. On day one in the White House, they had to stop a payment, but nobody knew where the computer was that wired the money. There was a lot of waste and grift in the federal government. Many people were "slurping." Humanitarian programs send money for medicine and food, but the money is contracted out, and there are three or four middlemen. Marco Rubio estimated that 88 cents of every dollar was collected by middlemen, so only 12 cents made it to the people who needed it. Elon Musk was doing it for free because he doesn't need money.

The speaker believes Doge is a crucial reform initiative, evidenced by the strong negative reaction to it. Over the past seven weeks, the narrative has shifted from waste, fraud, and abuse to the idea that Elon and Doge have revealed government operations as slush funds for the left, allegedly funding allies, pet projects, and anti-American behavior. The speaker is pleased with Trump's public support for Elon and Doge's work. They also mention "crystal knock behavior of the little fascists on the left burning Tesla dealerships and attacking Tesla owners."

There are no Doge cuts, and this is not USAID. The speaker is talking about waste and fraud, specifically in Medicaid, and claims no one has been turned over to the DOJ for fraud. Elon Musk gave false hope to a political class that doesn't want to cut anything. The big bill has problems, but it passed because Musk promised a trillion dollars. The rescission next week is $9 billion, with $2 billion from PBS and NPR. There's supposedly $7 billion in fraud on a $7 trillion budget. Musk committed $1 trillion to the President, leading to questions about whether it's all "BS."
