Gee, I don’t know. If their goal was to kill millions of people in Africa, it is a roaring success.

A total bust for whom?
I assumed a big part of the point of the entire endeavour was Musk gutting regulatory agencies that could exert control over his various businesses.

Musk should pay every American $2,000.

The 600K+ dead from DOGE cuts isn’t a bust it’s genocide, and they need to be held accountable for their crimes.

I’m sorry but I can’t believe this. I mean he came out on stage with a working chainsaw while wearing sunglasses indoors. You don’t just do that when you don’t have a rock solid plan to implement immediately and expeditiously.

I think that was the point. Bust it all up, too many black folks have jobs!

Maybe next time, have an actual accountant lead the effort.

I am still concerned about what was done with all our social security information and where that’s being held. Elon and his little DOGE nerds need to answer for that

Apart from the massive gouge and the immense data heist. Those parts went just fine.

Only if one believes the given purpose of DOGE.
Its *true* purpose was to exfiltrate tons of government data… at which was a huge success.

Hate that headline.
It wasn’t a total bust. They lied about their true intentions. It was never their intention to lower the deficit or help the American people in anyway. It was always fraud.
When it comes to stealing data from hundreds of millions of Americans, enacting cruelty for the sake of cruelty including racist and sexist policies, closing programs designed to stimulate the American economy while also helping feed and support our allies, and escape accountability for the richest and most corrupt participants in our government by getting rid of oversight and eliminating active cases into their corruption… DOGE was wildly successful.

No. This wasn’t a bust, because their stated goal was never the actual objective.
It was a great move if, say, you were a tech oligarch, and your actual move was to steal all of our data, off-site it, and introduce security vulnerabilities to ensure that you can *keep doing that for as long as your guy is in charge*.
Don’t piss in my mouth and tell me it’s raining.

If they needlessly increased human suffering then you can’t call it a *total* bust, can you?

Are you sure he didn’t say “bust out,” as in they busted out the private and legally protected data of Americans for Musk and company to profit from?
DesmadreGuy on
Total bust my ass. It was data theft masquerading as making government more efficient. Our personal info is now floating around in xAI.
History (and congressional Dems, once they get their act together and control the House again) will not be kind to these fuckers.

What if the whole thing was just the data we stole along the way?

I think whoever got all of our information they were farming disagrees.

Also was illegal.

Not a “bust”. A “bust” would indicate that, more or less, nothing was gained for the effort, but not much was lost.
DOGE was an absolute pillaging of government agencies incurring huge costs to the American taxpayer. And the wholesale theft of Americans sensitive data.

So give us our money back

It was a bust for what they claimed the purpose was, to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse.
For the real purposes it was a resounding success. Dismantling institutions deemed too “woke”, purging government employees who weren’t sufficiently loyal, and stealing personal information on hundreds of millions of Americans to be used for profiling and to sell to the highest bidders.
