> The cuts come as Elon Musk, as the head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) Musk isn’t the head, Amy Gleason is. Musk does not work for DOGE, nor are there any conflicts of interest between Musk's company and DOGE's activities.

I think you forgot to add /s??? Otherwise, you might want to stop drinking so much kool-aid.

  I thought my last sentence made it obvious. Think I overestimated HN

    I think you underestimate the number of people that actually believe what you wrote

      Given the downvotes I think you’re right.

        I especially like the response from Mrs Gleason upon learning she was in charge of DOGE. "Wait, I thought you told her!" was said by pretty much everyone involved

    Poe’s Law is hitting hard right now. There are people out there making the arguments you are satirizing. These are rough times…

Then why do we keep seeing musk talking about the “achievements” of doge at press conferences and meetings instead of her? Musk is a special government employee, and his companies are beneficiaries of government subsidies, how is that not a conflict of interest?

  The idiots think they're slick at hiding their corruption. This is all middle school to them. It's about all they're intellectually able to handle.

    Apparently it's easy to fool people that don't have great critical thinking skills, but I did not expect for someone to use these tactics on here. At least they're getting called out for it

    Why do you think they are trying to hide anything. They have been given carte blanche by SCOTUS that anything they do as official acts cannot be illegal. Congress has also abdicated their responsibilities as well. They are not afraid of anything the opposition side says/thinks/does. They have an agenda, and are making strides to accomplish their playbook. I don't understand why people keep saying things like hide, shadow, etc. They're doing it right there in front of everyone live on TV or posting step by step on social media.

      They think we don't know that it's corruption. It may be legal corruption, but it's corruption all the same. Even the MAGA folks are starting to figure it out.

  Okay, I think I have to be more obvious: /s
