Welcome to Costco… I love you!
Translating from neoliberalese, “government efficiency” means tearing apart every utility and government function that a profit can be made out of and sharing between your favorite oligarchs. Think the US healthcare system, but for everything.
For those thinking “well this couldn’t include things like the military”, it ABSOLUTELY CAN AND WILL. The GOP wanted someone who will run the country like a business, AND THIS is how business is run now - absorb a company, strip it for parts to sell off, move onto the next company, repeat. “The next company” here being, likely, another country.
I never get a good answer regarding why they think a government should be ran like a business. They don’t fill the same niches, and the Constitution clearly lays out the role of government:
…form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…
Nothing about consolidating profits into the hands of a few, nothing about profits at all, actually. Nothing about buying/manufacturing and selling goods or services
And why do they always trot out the worst possible examples of businessmen as who they want to run said imaginary corpocountry (Trump is self explanatory, but Romney’s entire ethos was buying companies and bankrupting them)?

To them, the ideal state of being for a human is to be rich. Never mind all the other silly details like their family or health or ethics or whatever. Rich people who run businesses are the greatest and most admirable among us. We should all be so lucky to have one of them lower themselves to serving the country.
Well they don’t actually believe in the constitution
It’s not an invasion, it’s a merger! Perfectly fine!
Don’t tell him about C3PO… or all those other fun ones around.
The “Great Elon Musk”? This is a meme, right? Anon is at it again?
Have we all forgot that Doge wasn’t originally a crypto? It was a meme. The coin is just riding off of that.
the coin put the original meme in its shadow at this point. Also it’s not that culturally relevant anymore, whole doge kinda still is.
I wouldn’t call any random scam “culturally relevant”.
I never understood that either - why destroy any chance at credibility one might’ve had?
It was fun at one point. When collective efforts through the currency put the Jamaican bobsleigh team into the olympics. A time before we collectively realized how terrible crypto is both for economy and environment.
Now it’s just sad.

Oof, sorry you have been so badly brainwashed. I would be angry if I were you.
Are you trying to say that cryptocurrency does not have a negative impact?
A negative impact on what? The environment? haha. It’s just such a retarded argument to try and use it against bitcoin.
Let me guess you got baited by the “Did you know it uses the energy of a small country!”
So I assume you have counter arguments? Or do you just hope that laughing at arguments will win you the discussions?
You’re going to be shocked to learn that using energy doesn’t harm the environment, and Bitcoin doesn’t require coal.
And guess what, yes, renewable energy is generally cheaper than fossil fuels.
That means you are incentivized to not only use renewable energy to mine Bitcoin, but to further invest in improving renewable energy sources.
Energy consumption is energy consumption. While you might be connected to a grid where renewable sources are accessible, you are still straining a grid which could cover for an area which uses less clean energy sources.
But it’s not like every mining rig is connected to a source of renewable energy. It’s untraceable, which is part of the concept behind bitcoin. It should be obvious that a decentralized, untraceable, energy intensive cryptocurrency is not somehow controlled to be driven primarily by green sources.
wow
such fascism
much crushing authoritarianism
Make America… What again?
Make America Cyberpunk Now!
Owned by corporations, apparently.
Musk is vying for government contracts, and it doesn’t take a genius to see that if he’s put in charge of “government efficiency,” he’s going to turn NASA’s research and engineering into skeleton crews. I can guarantee it won’t be Blue Origin picking up the slack after NASA is no longer able to create spacecrafts.
Poor.
“mine again”
I guess that is how they got Gaetz on board. They meant they wanted to send kids back into the mines and he thought they meant something even more disgusting.
The Red Circus.
NISSAN, the National Intelligence Social Security Association N… what’s the n-word…n… national!
God damn
What a grift
As someone who holds a few hundred thousand doge because it cost peanuts; i can’t wait to see how this goes.
Yup. I made a joke to my wife before the election about taking out a loan and buying a shit ton of musk stock/doge coin and truth social stock then selling it off after the election. Their stocks are going to be too volatile for my liking now, but there was an opportunity for a payday. We ultimately didn’t do it because it seemed wrong to bet against our country, but the extra money would be nice.
Look at Pete Rose over here 😁
Hey genius, he’s naming it off the same old meme that the crypto coin was named after. Because he’s not just a weird, stupid jackass, he’s also autistic and on “prescription” stimulants.
it is a matter of weeks, possibly days, before musk makes a stupid joke about being “head of DOGE” and then photoshops his head onto the picture of the dog.
you have been warned.
Let’s get this Alvin Parsley laughing emoji laughing emoji
It’s already happened, AI is incredibly quick
Only good news about this is thanks to Daddy Doge being head of the government Doge means I’ll be rich in '27 when Doge (the currency) hits $2.
Can’t beat em join em
I just woke up to my Doge making $1000 overnight. Should I sell?
Edit: Fuck it, I don’t need the money right now. I’m gonna hold it for the tiny chance that it goes to the moon.
I sold, I have some regrets. I’ve been holding since 2014.
I wished I had my $20 worth of doge I got in 2014. I didn’t like it cluttering up my portfolio so I got rid of it for like $23. It’d be worth around $12,000 today.
Ouch. That must sting :(
Yep. My other major folly is that I have just shy of 2 bitcoins from like 2011 but my wallet file is corrupted and I’ve never been able to un-fuck it.
Oooof. Have my sympathies internet stranger! Even though that doesn’t so much
Not yet, retard.
By all means, buy some and hodl. The rest of us will thank you later, once you’re left holding the bag like a sucker.
Yes
