Trump and Elon Musk's Insane Plan to Change America Forever (DOGE)

Choosing one of these goals will change everything

Some of my Democrat family members truly believe Trump and Elon are the antichrist incarnate. The conviction is almost poetic, if not borderline hilarious.

If one of the grand “beasts” the bible talks about is a fucking 78-year-old ex-reality tv host, I’ll gladly become a Mormon or join Scientology.

Sign me up! Put me in Tommy Cruise. Anyway, rather than disappointment, the election stirred a sense of renewed hope for where America might be headed.

This is for two reasons: 1) Voting Actually Matters: Trump gathered every populist politician under his banner, and I, like many of you, believed the bureaucratic deep state would never allow it. Atlanta, Detroit, Charlotte, and Philadelphia have become hubs of clandestine, overt propaganda. But even the deep state has limits.

“They” can’t stop a true grassroots movement like MAGA. If they put a bullet in Donald Trump’s head now (GOD FORBID), they’d cause a Civil War.

Voting works. Who knew?

The 2) is DOGE.

If Kamla Harris won, I expected that people like Elon Musk and many of the US's greatest minds in AI and engineering would claim asylum in China, which has been preparing for a mass diaspora for decades.

Instead, Elon and long-time Silicon Valley mogul Vivek Ramaswamy plan on “Slashing $2 Trillion” in government spending with their Trump-appointed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Elon and Vivek recently laid out a vision for DOGE and fixing the government in a WSJ article, and it deserves a closer look. They will also head to Washington, DC, on Dec. 5 to pitch their DOGE strategy to Republican congressional leaders, so now is a good time to familiarize yourself with the playbook.

1. Use Legal Precedent to Give Trump a Regulatory Chainsaw

DOGE’s vision is straightforward: kill the red tape and cut the enforcers, according to the WSJ article,

Past presidents wielded executive orders to tweak civil service rules, neatly sidestepping the Administrative Procedures Act of 1946 which establishes the process by which federal agencies develop, implement, and enforce regulations.

The DOGE article cited Franklin v. Massachusetts (1992) and Collins v. Yellen (2021) as proof that the APA can’t hold presidents down.

This part gets a little boring, but it's actually brilliant. It will completely destroy the federal agencies without any need for Congress.

In Franklin v. Massachusetts (1992), the Court ruled that the President’s decision to adjust census data for House seats wasn’t reviewable under the APA, reinforcing executive power above all. Similarly, in Collins v. Yellen (2021), the Court upheld the recently established Federal Housing Finance Agency’s sweeping actions, showing leaders can drive outcomes within broad statutory frameworks—much like Elon Musk steering DOGE’s market influence outside formal rules.

Armed with this legal precedent, DOGE will enable Trump to slash through bureaucratic sprawl with a chainsaw.

2. DOGE Will End in 2026

“We expect to prevail,” Vivek and Elon wrote. “Now is the moment for decisive action. Our top goal for DOGE is to eliminate the need for its existence by July 4, 2026—the expiration date we have set for our project. There is no better birthday gift to our nation on its 250th anniversary than to deliver a federal government that would make our Founders proud.”

Elon and Vivek plan to finish all the work for DOGE before July 4th, 2026, as a birthday gift to America.

I'm hoping Elon's autism and persistence will make something happen by then.

DOGE has suggested they will start with bloated defense contracts, reducing the IRS, deleting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and fixing inefficiencies in welfare distribution that could be replaced with a transparent, blockchain-based DOGE system.

Every administration starts with these lofty ideas and promises and then shit fades into the background and nothing happens. DOGE might change that.

3. Regulation Hurts The Middle-Class Most

(WSJ)

There’s a Silicon Valley saying that a hairdresser has to deal with more regulation than someone who works in tech.

It’s not true.

But people who work in tech have more resources to navigate regulation.

A billionaire like Elon Musk or a monopoly like Google will navigate regulations no matter what you throw at them. At the same time, small businesses bear a larger burden from regulations than large businesses.

All this is to say that DOGE shouldn’t be a partisan issue. Every American should want their tax dollars to be spent on useful government programs and regulation.

4. Reduce Government Debt

Lastly, the government spends $500 billion a year with funds that Congress either didn’t authorize or never meant to bankroll in the first place. Crazy, right?

Thankfully, the government—flawed as it may be—is benevolent, prudent, and not retarded at all.

With that budget, they settle their debt by providing us with pragmatic services like going to war with Russia and flooding the country with illegal immigrants.

It’s all in good fun!

Shit, we’d be better off with Scientologists running America.

What To Make Of DOGE

I imagine the Trump/Elon relationship is primarily transactional in nature with a bit of mutual respect since they both don't need money from the other person.

Trump knows what Elon wants, Elon knows what Trump wants. If that relationship breaks, it’s because somebody misunderstood the other’s intent.

An interesting test of this theory will be in the 2026 primaries because Trump will want Elon's resources to primary people, and Elon will have to allocate those resources without being the kingmaker himself.

If DOGE pulls off even half of what it’s aiming for, it could set the stage for a Golden Age.

Elon is the same guy who fired 80% of Twitter’s employees and made it more efficient. So, if you wanted the Michael Jordan for a project like this, you got him.
