| 2024-11-15 |
Ready to hit the ground running on Day 1. [IsraelTimes] Along with foreign policy, Trump has put Musk and another wealthy entrepreneur, former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, in charge of a new "Department of Government Efficiency" tasked with overhauling the federal bureaucracy.The new initiative has raised questions about conflicts of interest given the extensive interactions between Musk’s businesses and the government. An account for the program has been created on X, formerly Twitter, where it asked applicants to apply through a direct message. "We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting," said a post on X, adding that "Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants."

| #4 What I know: Vivek and Elon arent drawing a salary. Pro Bono. 8Chan founder Code Monkey is joining DOGE. DOGE is crowd sourcing, with a handful of independent researchers already reaching out to Vivek and Elon over Twitter to pass on their research. These are serious people with a depth of knowledge and fully cited research with credible sources. They will dissolve DOGE July 4th, 2026 on the 250th Birthday of America. |

| #3 I would recommend pruning the FDA. Nearly 80,000 Pounds of Butter Sold at Costco Were Just Recalled "the packages of both salted and unsalted Kirkland Signature Sweet Cream Butter list cream as an ingredient, but may not contain the "Contains Milk" allergy statement visible on the packaging." |

| #2 He should set up an account open for suggestions from the public. I'm sure 320 million Americans can provide a few thousand ideas of places where cuts could be made. I'd suggest denying all financial assistance to anyone in the country illegally, except in emergencies where a person's life is at extreme risk. Watch the reverse flow begin! |

| #1 Musk and Ramaswamy's DOGE opens hiring on X Musk remarked, "Indeed, this will be tedious work, make lots of enemies [willing to work 80+ hours per week] & compensation is zero. What a great deal!" Kinda like ranching and soldiering. |
