Yup was previously named United States digital service(uses). Was an agency under Obama, I'm not sure why that's controversial. Or why people keep acting like this agency is an advisory board only. Some really cool projects and improvements have come out of it.


Well trump listed it as an advisory board so there is that. Some really cool projects and improvements have/will come out of it also. Enjoy the ride chief.

How so?

Musk is a special government employee in control of judging whether and when to recuse himself as he works on behalf of the president to cut waste through doge(formerly usds). Musk is also a CEO of many different government contracting operations and also has many financial ties to foreign investors abroad through his businesses.

Again I think it's pretty obvious we've put a fox in charge of the hen house and I'm not sure that's wise.

Yup looking forward to the direct file program taking off hopefully with the IRS and it'll be nice to see whatever fraud they find eliminated. Also may see some programs actually get a recission via congress eventually.

Would Elon have been awarded those contracts regardless or are these kickbacks? do you know or are you just pontificating and casting a shadow of guilt based on conjecture

Musk is your enemy and you're worried he'll be successful in disrupting some of the bureaucratic architecture that has enabled progressive control of our institutions. And perhaps you just don't like him because he's an ideological foe.

If you'll just admit this we'll all have a much more interesting conversation about things as they are in reality.

I'm ok with the doge mission the execution has been lacking. It's been a pretty big shitshow, the only reason more people aren't speaking out is because he threatened to primary any dissent in public. Really removing the whole public debate on the topic. It's either maga good and I love musk or don't like doge must be a liberal... There's a real conversation to be had about the way they're doing this and how it's pretty shitty way to go about it.

Why would a libertarian be opposed to doge or otherwise any attempt to cut government spending?

I'm not against the doge mission. Like I said I've got criticisms of how it's being done, today it's far more for show than effectiveness.

Ah ok so you've elected doubling down on concern trolling nobody believes (because it doesn't align with anything in your years of posting)

Lame, but ok
