All actions of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency.
Anytime the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know!
We will also have a leaderboard for most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining 🤣🤣
The entertainment value will be epic

Entertaining is code word for owning libs and drinking the tears of those they hurt.

(7,926 posts)His "department" won't be cutting anything, even if he hires catturd2 to kick some asses. There are other arms of government that are expressly designed to cover these matters, unless he imagines his pruning of government is going to abolish them.
The released information about his new little plaything implied a strictly advisory role. If it had any real power, he'd have to divest himself of his business interests and probably face confirmation hearings.
It doesn't take much imagination how a loose-lipped prat like Musk could play havoc with the stock exchange by releasing info about his latest brainstorm at key times. Musk has form for doing that.
"The entertainment value will be epic" - probably. Pointing and laughing at Musk seems to be something few tire of quickly.
Setting up a website and asking for comments from the public - what could possibly go wrong?

No, youre not keeping people informed- youre driving more traffic to his site. We all fully expect him to be posting exactly the kind of content you are sharing. If Democrats, who by all accounts make up somewhere between 40-60% of this country, stopped giving that man the hits he so craves and loves, then his childish trolling would be powerless.
Delete your account. Everyone, delete your accounts!! Resist all urges to go and peek. Get your news from the mainstream media, not Twitter/X.
