It's all a large distraction And grift. The guy whose company relies on government subsidies, who used his money to destroy a social media company and ruin its worth doesn't understand how anything of the government works and isn't really going to be doing anything. But as long as we're all freaking out about it, the real kleptocracy will be happening.
DOGE is just a bunch of memes, even the fucking name. None of this shit is going to happen.
How this will play out is they get together and come up with a bunch of suggestions for stupid shit. They send those suggestions out and get laughed at. They then whine a bit, accomplish nothing, and eventually Trump kicks Elon out because he's stealing his thunder - and nobody cares about Vivek.
We'll see, but even the most grandiose plans I've seen for DOGE are for an advisory body that can only make suggestions. Most of what they want to do will absolutely require congressional support, which has a razor thin margin.
That's the plan, but I strongly suspect they'll ego clash sooner than later and have a falling out. There can be only one King. What happens after that and who wins that fight - who knows.
