Elon Musk wanted to succeed. We were pulling for his perfect victory. He blew countless satellites into orbit. He placed the EV on the road. He saved freedom of speech on social media. If someone could cut $2 trillion in waste each year, he’s a guy.
The tasks in Doge were simple enough. The mask applies the destructive magic of Silicon Valley to the harsh halls of Washington. He has shut down all useless institutions specializing in pointless fine laws and old-fashioned laws and regulations. He eliminated waste and made the government more efficient. Why is it not good?
Overall, from our observations and experiences, ambitions and reality generally do not line up. What boys don’t dream of being a starting pitcher when the astronauts and the Los Angeles Dodgers grow up? How many people live in this?
Nevertheless, we believe that the best personal and professional efforts are almost impossible to achieve. However, there are other things that are absolutely useless. For example, sending people to Mars is on a near-impossible spectrum. Making the federal government efficient is absolutely useless.
The 130-day stint for masks as a “special civil servant” is over. Doge has identified it $180 billion savings. This is 9% of the intended $2 trillion target.
Additionally, of the $180 billion Doge Cuts identified, President Trump demanded $9.4 billion Repeat – or less than 0.5% of $2 trillion. This is proof that mask work was absolutely useless.
To be fair, Musk’s efforts at Doge were not in complete waste. They were learning experiences that provided valuable insights and guidance not only for Musk but for all those concerned about the rapidly approaching financial destruction of America.
Capital consumption
The main lesson here is that it is impossible for governments to become more efficient in their degenerated ossified form. Doge made great noises on the campaign trail. Getting votes was great. It also created a fun topic during the promises of the first 100 days of the new presidency. But in reality, Doge was a distracting sideshow.
The names “Government Efficiency Division” and Control Musk created a vision for the discovery of sophisticated, data-driven waste that can be surgically removed for the benefit of taxpayers. First, if you remember, all your savings could even be returned to the Americans in the form of doge dividends.
Certainly, the promise of painless and quick corrections to American financial nightmares by a provable genius was worth the shot. There was optimism that Musk could clean up the IRS, the Pentagon procurement, and force the postal service to run on budget.
With the task of algorithms, AI and mercilessly reducing costs and streamlining processes, Musk and his nerd team have reached it. But then, Kuji’s ambitions come across the reality of the government.
The government is not a startup. Nor are they a large company with clear profit motives and a single bottom line. It is a multifaceted beast, a complex system of competing interests, established bureaucrats, and political territory. Governments don’t increase capital like successful businesses. Rather, the main purpose of life is to consume it.
In reality, the illogical nature of government follows its own logic. Every regulation, every form of government, every absurd procedure was born out of past crises, political compromises, or false attempts to plan the world and elicit the respect of the ruling class.
Good deeds cannot be punished
Moonshot’s relentless pursuit in the mask business is completely opposed to the established “resistance to change” of the administration. It is politically unacceptable to fire staff, streamline the process, and try to overhaul federal agencies using new technologies.
The first burst of Doge’s enthusiasm quickly gave way to the fact that it is completely impossible to implement a real-life depressing agency domain, legislative indifference, and corporate-style efficiency model on a system designed to deliberately consume capital.
The union, its tenure, and civil servants with deep infiltrating procedures cannot be changed. Congress will not allow it with a passion for hearings or investigations.
Unfortunately, Doge was primarily a press release. Smoke and a way of reflecting to divert the public from an additional debt of $3.8 trillion in additional debt proposed in one big beautiful bill law (OBBBA).
Musk, on his side, believed in the mission, and he believed in the country’s main man. He wore a red hat around his head, “Trump was right about everything.”
Perhaps in his mind, it was the last effort to save America from America itself. Musk sacrificed his business. He confiscated a large amount of his personal wealth. In return, he became America’s most hated man.
Now, the mask has Elizabeth Warren, a Senate resident, Karen, on his back, like a dirty diaper. This week she released a entitled report Elon Musk for 130 days. Inside, she makes 130 130 claims for how he profited from his work at Doge. Of course, if Warren actually did her job, there’s no reason for Doge to begin with.
Dawge in exile
In Musk’s exile, Doji goes from being ignored to ambiguity. And once again the masses leave behind a bitter taste of yet another failed promise.
The success of business and technology expertise has proven to be unmatched by the unchanging laws of bureaucratic physics. The lesson, as always, is that there is no way to dismantle the government monsters that have been formed for centuries.
The US government grows and grows until it extracts all the last dollars. This cannot be reversed. Government growth does not end until it eventually collapses with its own excess weight. In the process, government monsters will bankrupt America and use it to take down citizens.
Musk wears a black shirt at his exit press conference on the last day with Doge “Dogefather.” In a short 130-day day in Washington, he has seen how the government actually works, and perhaps how it works. And he didn’t like what he saw.
Musk may now be in exile, but he refuses to shut his mouth. On Tuesday, he took him to his own platform, X. voice Criticism of OBBBA:
“I’m sorry, but I can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a nasty hatred. I’m embarrassed by those who voted for it. I know you were wrong.
Then on Wednesday, he made the following recommendation:
“Call the senators and call the senators, America is not OK to go bankrupt! Kill the bill.”
The explosion continued Thursday. But, apart from the thrilling headlines, I don’t expect Musk’s rant to X to have a major impact on Washington’s out-of-control spending. But DogeFather should not be underestimated…
He has accomplished something almost impossible before. He may one day send people to Mars.
Cleaning up a house in Washington…
Be authentic.
