He's not concerned with what's going on in DC? Does he think Elon is qualified to waltz in and start slashing and burning the Federal Bureaucracy? Congress hasn't approved DOGE.

paulg is more concerned with “wokeism” than he is with the federal government being stripped for parts.

If it had any "parts," there would be seven trillion dollars' worth.

But it's actually all just taxes.

Ignoring everything the taxes pay for. The parts being the Federal Bureaucracy and all the services it provides.

Maybe what is happening benefits him so he is quietly cheering on. If he stays quiet and makes no mentions of current events I will continue to assume so. I feel that if this ultimately escalates a few more rungs everybody will have to lose.

> Congress hasn't approved DOGE.

In 2014, under Obama, the United States Digital Service was established with by Congressional appropriations with the mission to "deliver better government services to the American people through technology and design" and in 2025 it was renamed to DOGE.

Have you considered that it might have been renamed DOGE for the same reason that Tesla car models spell out the word SEXY? The mission has not changed very substantively. The order directs them to modernize federal technology and software to maximize efficiency and productivity.
