Summary

Elon Musk’s team is reportedly gaining control over key U.S. government operations.

His Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) officials have clashed with Treasury staff over access to federal payment systems, which handle $6 trillion annually.

Reports indicate Musk aides have locked civil servants out of government databases and are reviewing tech operations across agencies.

Originally intended as an external advisory body, DOGE was instead integrated into the government by Trump’s executive order, giving Musk a direct role in federal operations.

    An unelected billionaire who was appointed by the president to the head of a department he made up is gaining massive control of the federal government.

    This unelected billionaire is an unapologetic nazi. He did a Nazi salute twice at the inauguration. He spreads Nazi ideology on his social media platform. He supports international Nazi causes. He is an open white supremacist on his social media platform and an open anti-semite.

    He’s now being given essentially limitless control over all federal agencies of the United States government. The Nazi takeover of America is already complete.

      If this is all it takes to tank this country, we probably fucking deserve it.

      What a joke.

      Take a look at South Korea for a comparison…

      It’s despondent but also hilarious that every single person who has ever “ICED” a Tesla charging spot likely voted for Musk to take over their country.
