> How come there isn’t much discussion of DOGE on this site? The exact same reason any negative story about Elon, Twitter, Tesla or SpaceX disappears from the front page. They get flagged to death immediately. It also doesn't help that Paulg is still an Elon fan.

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.

      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.

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.

  It's not on my front or even 2nd page edit: its not even in my top 100 stories despite being newer with more points than many others that are. How about yours?
