Summary
Elon Musk announced plans to double DOGE staff from 100 to 200 employees during a Fox Business interview on Monday.
He stated DOGE is working in “pretty much” all federal agencies despite growing opposition from courts, Democrats, and some Trump Cabinet members.
Musk repeated debunked claims about Social Security fraud and indicated he plans to stay in government another year, despite his temporary “special government employee” status limiting service to 130 days annually.
Meanwhile, Tesla shares have dropped 15%, and protests have targeted Musk-owned businesses. He also claimed, without evidence, that a cyberattack on X originated from Ukraine-based IP addresses.
I still want to see them slash the Secret Service to maybe, one guy who doesn’t work weekends. /s
Secret Service staff willing to take a bullet must be really expensive. I wonder if DOGE has explored cheaper options to save US taxpayer money.
Like, I don’t know, children you can carry around? That could work.
A bit of a conspiracy but I kind of believe the reason that guy got so close to shooting Trump is because Trump’s security detail probably secretly despise him.
Imagine having to deal with that asshole all the time, at some point you’d just be like, “I’m not risking my life and leaving my family without me for this piece of shit.”
I mean I’m sure I’m just being a crazy person and it’s a bit of a joke but … Idk … Maybe?
This is dumb, as soon as they realized the guy was there, they killed him. If the secret service wanted trump dead, it would be extremely easy for them.
I did say it was a conspiracy theory or whatever you want to call the fantastical delusions my brain dreams up.
I’d settle for just the one elite child agent with brain cancer, he can set his own hours.
