Summary
Elon Musk, through the unofficial DOGE, is aggressively slashing U.S. government agencies, eliminating programs, and reducing federal staff.
While framed as cost-cutting, these moves are benefiting private companies—including Musk’s own—by increasing reliance on private-sector contracts.
Tech and defense firms like Palantir, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman support the shift, eyeing lucrative government deals.
Meanwhile, watchdogs warn of ethical conflicts, as Trump removes oversight officials and shields Musk from scrutiny. Critics fear Musk’s unchecked influence will lead to corruption and further entrench private control over government functions.

Good, I hope they suffer and/or die. I no longer give two fucks about them.
Problem is, all of us will suffer, too. And some of us will die, too. I have a problem with that.
And cost the nation billions.
Those billions will end up in the pockets of the oligarchs

Between the cuts and the tariffs, a lot of people are going to be out of jobs.
