President Musk fired thousands of IRS employees and shut down entire programs at the agency. Because of this, taxes are not being collected and increasing numbers of people are not even filing their taxes, figuring there isn't enough staff to go after them. Estimates DOGE boys have cost US government $500 billion in lost revenue. They are very bad at efficiency.
Elon Musk makes request to Reddit CEO to take down posts he didn't like Musk's public tirade about Reddit also included private correspondence with Reddit to influence content decisions. Elon Musk personally reached out to the CEO of Reddit to complain about content on the platform. Elon Musk is no fan of content moderation. When Musk acquired Twitter back in 2022, one of the driving forces behind his decision to buy the social media platform was content moderation, especially involving bans on right-wing accounts that he liked. Now, Musk appears to be trying to exert control over content moderation on social media platforms he doesn't even own. According to a new report in The Verge, Musk privately contacted Reddit CEO Steve Huffman regarding content on the social sharing platform. Shortly after the correspondence between Musk and Huffman, a thread about DOGE employees was deleted. The subreddit where the thread was started, r/WhitePeopleTwitter, was also banned for 72 hours.

Elon massively financing conservative Trump groveler in next week's Wisconsin State supreme court election. He is holding rally this weekend where he pledged to give a million dollars to each of two lucky voters. Wisconsin attorney general had to remind him paying for votes is a felony.
Elon said Trump has never done anything mean or dishonest or morally wrong. I think he means Trump has never done anything that is not mean or dishonest or morally wrong or all three.
Anyone else notice how miserable Elon is? 14 kids by five women and no relationship. Told DOGE boys to expect 90 hour weeks. Sleeps on office floor. Left Super Bowl in a rage in 2023 when he learned President Biden had more hits on his Super Bowl tweet than Musk. Most of us if we had, not obscene Elon wealth, but enough to do whatever we want, would try to enjoy life although our definition of enjoyment would vary. I would get a Super Bowl suite and invite all my pals. Go to performances and get best seats. Try exciting restaurants. Not sleep on the floor and try to destroy other people's lives.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/us/doge-iraq-veteran-fired.html Disabled veteran, spent 22 years serving her country, fired by Elon. Suicidal, checked herself into psychiatric hospital. Then judge reversed firing. She isn't sure what will happen next. But hey, a transgender Congresswoman can't use the ladies room.
Muskrats took over Institute of Peace literally at gunpoint. It is not a government agency. Employees are not federal workers. It is privately funded and owns the building where it is housed. Nevertheless, 28 year old DOGE now in charge issued memo firing all staff and putting up building for sale. Memo misspelled names of employees, of the Institute and even April. These are the people running the government.
