    This still works for Elon. He’ll just say they tried to streamline the government and save money but the Democrats wouldn’t let them.

    The Democrats need to start strategically badmouthing and disrupting DOGE otherwise all the blame will be placed on them.

      Not wild enough, needs more Calvinball and Squid Game. You’ll be presiding over court cases of other fires employees but to stay employed you have a quota of terminations to fill while jumping rope.
