DOGE is not an official government department, it’s a presidential advisory committee. It’s not going to have taxpayer funding, oversight and no far-reaching powers over other official departments besides shit-stirring and distraction.

You think the people who "work" for/on DOGE will not be paid? Or you think that Musk is underwriting their paychecks?

Initially only Musk was making a paycheck from DOGE - since you needed a X premium subscription to apply. So its more like applicants were underwriting Musk's paychecks - that's how a true-blue American capitalist operates.
He changed it after some blowback but I have to admit - American businessmen are always cunning.
