    These are the types who enjoy watching govt squander other people’s money.
    Nothing more.

    From what I read today that neither of them are taking a salary and I don't think a few million or even a lot of millions really bother Musk.

    I meant to revisit this sooner. You are right. I did move the goalposts. &, then got defensive about it. Sorry.

    Great headline in Fortune:

    “Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency will ironically require two men to run it”

    are they unpaid? How about the staff they hire?

    Elon Musk's DOGE is hiring. Here's the kind of person he's looking for.


    Hopefully they consider the levels of potential benefits and helpful intervention into musk’s business.

    for example…..

    “JD Vance suggested the US's support for NATO could bepulled if Europe tries to regulate Elon Musk's X “

    JD Vance suggested the US's support for NATO could be pulled if Europe tries to regulate Elon Musk's X as freespeech debate rumbles on

    On the surface of it - I’d support a real effort regarding government efficiency. God knows it needs it. However I’m skeptical Musk can stay focused enough to make realistic and relevant suggestions.

    But if they make actual progress I’d support it.
