Musk & Ramaswami (both unelected) imposed a “Government Efficiency Department” Trump pulled off his butt; pushed to add FIVE TRILLION dollars to the US debt!
SNOWFLAKE WARNING:
The First Amendment Right for the USA allows for freedom of speech. Musk actions put in jeopardy the livelihoods and stability of the United States of America, especially during some of the most contentious geopolitical moments in our history... Even if he does not realize it. If Musk wishes to become a "government official" then he has to also realized that he is subject to criticism by the American people when his decisions negatively impact the lives of millions of Americans, and US interests abroad. His advocacy for a government shutdown indeed negatively affects millions of people DIRECCTLY. If he is NOT considering himself a Government Official at this time, then he had no say on government proceedings, he is not an elected leader. Either way, if "X" suspends or otherwise flags this account because of this article, when they never boost any of my other articles, then we know if Musk is thin-skinned, and "X" is after all not a "free speech" platform, which was the premise for why he bought it. I read all kinds of offensive things on "X," this article is quoting official records. Don't get mad at me, people with actual deep pockets and influence are speaking up.
DOGE SCAM
Let me summarize this as blunt as I can so the US Government, the MAGA folks, the Media, and the rest of the people in the back can understand. The Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE. DOES NOT EXIST! Trump pulled that out of his diaper-filled fantasies… and somehow it is treated as though it was some sort of sentient-turd-led agency. It is not.
I’m going to break this down in bullet-format for people to understand how these underlining factors (because they are multipliers) are apparently confusing the entire country.
- DOGE needs Congressional APPROVAL to EXIST. Only Congress has the power of the purse. Trump wants this made-up department led by two billionaires who have extreme conflicts of interest and who made money primarily directly from taxpayers to “manage” the entire US Government budget. There is NO Need for this department, unless you want an oligarchy in the USA. That is what it is really about. It has TWO people leading it when every department has ONE, that already is inefficient. But the true scheme is that they want this to run some crypto business scam. DOGE IT IS NAMED AFTER A CRYPTO CURRENCY!
- It is ILLEGAL for Musk to take official government positions. Musk made billions out of tax-payer dollars. Most of his billionaire ventures needed the backup of the US Government in order to take off. Without them, he had nothing. He has to either give up these contracts and work in this imaginary DOGE “government agency,” even if he does not “take a salary” – nobody is forcing him to do so. Or just bug-off. Even GOP Congresspeople would prefer seeing Musk on Mars than in the Government, especially after his meddling that advocated for a government shutdown. Even if he is too dumb to connect those dots.
- Musk ALREADY has security clearance issues. There are several issues with Musk’s security clearance due to his foreign ties to governments that are openly adversarial to the USA. These include regimes such as Russia and China. This fact alone paired out with Musk’s rhetoric that repeats Russian-state-sponsored talking points VERBATIM, is low hanging fruit for anybody who understands security related guidelines. A clearance is based on Trustworthiness, Loyalty, and Character. If ANY of these is negatively impacted, your security clearance gets scrutinized, and your access suspended – with the Espionage Act hanging over your head if you decide to blabber, period… no matter what your rank or position.
- Ramaswamy made a lot of money on dubious ways. As a hedge fund manager, he was already making millions but then he also acquired and sold a few drugs that did not actually deliver a cure. Think about that for a moment, even if all his other ventures were “legitimate” – tie that back to the requirement for a security clearance “Trustworthiness, Loyalty, and Character” – this alone, even if unintentional still counts as deception due to dereliction, and that would negate your clearance eligibility outright. Why? because your actions and pattern of actions also dictate if you will be authorized a security clearance or not.
- NOBODY Elected Ramaswamy or Musk! Ramaswamy dropped from the last Republican primary, but he was always acting as though he wanted to be Trump’s VP, or whatever else he could land with Trump. Musk is the richest man on the world, and still, he cannot buy friends or actual affection. Even Trump attest to how pestering Musk is. And if he ever reads this, he will likely think about retaliating using his massive fortune. If he does, it is because he is indeed weak, and he does have a thin-skin – no matter how he wants to frame it. Low self-esteem is something a person cannot escape, and money cannot buy you self-esteem, it has to be earned. Money cannot buy character either. Both Ramaswamy and Musk have more money any of us could dream of, yet they still want more – YOUR MONEY, no matter how little you have. They are showing it by advocating for hardships by negating salaries to hard-working government employees – that is just the start. Both Ramaswamy or Musk might not understand what each government position entitles – obviously they don’t… but the fact is that they would FAIL at any position in government they seek to destroy. Let say for example, handling the administrative process for US Navy correspondence as a Junior Sailor. Look out SSIC codes, and the correspondence manual, and see if you can do those basic functions. Do it! It gets a lot more complex from there.
- The GOP needs to grow a spine. We saw a semblance of that with more than 30 GOP Representatives breaking ranks with their own Speaker of the House on December 19, 2024. Understand that Trump IS NOT THE PRESIDENT YET, and YOUR VOTING RECORD IS YOUR LEGACY. Your constituents might not know what you’re doing, but all the legislative votes are in the public record, and they live in servers around the world. You might not care NOW, but the pages of history are being written every time you show up to Congress. Your legislative votes are your legacy, and how you speak truth to power, or pander to an authoritarian wanna-be will also be recorded in history.
- Trump via Musk and Ramaswamy were killing bipartisanship. Again, neither of the latter were elected to any office and DOGE is not even a thing, it only exists in the belief that these two billionaires know how to run stuff efficiently, they don’t. But they are set to make tons of more money just by being in charge of that agency, in fact, they have already made tons of money since Trump got elected. And the bill to fund the government they were torpedoing was already drafted months in advance on a bipartisan agreement. Then these two out-of-touch individuals act as though they have a say… they don’t! Still, Musk and Ramaswamy pushed a rushed bill that fortunately failed, but it can still shut down the government. That is their “efficiency” in action!
- The proposed bill by Musk and Ramaswamy would add FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS to our National Debt! Understand that the previous Speaker of the House was kicked out on the guise that he was going to raise the ceiling for the debt. And now Trump, Musk, and Ramaswamy want to raise the debt ceiling with no debt limit… who do you think that benefits? The multibillionaires who are seeking the tax cut extension that expires in 2025. Just take in consideration that the national debt right now is ~$36.19 TRILLION. Where do you think they wanted those extra Trillions to go? To the pockets of people who already have more money they can even spend. Let me give you a parallel. Let say that if a person is 50 years old and lives to a 100… so 50 years left alive… if they are a billionaire, and spend a 100,000 dollars per day – that is 18,263 days by the way, that is 1,826,300,000 on that time frame… guess what? Musk and Ramaswamy and Trump’s cabinet have a lot more money than that already. And now they want YOUR money! No matter how small your savings are.
- Speaker of the House Johnson shoved his proposed bill a couple of days before this vote. The MAGA Speaker of the House already had a narrow majority in Congress, and he shoved this bill to raise the spending limit – you guessed it – to benefit Trump’s tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy. The same people that have more money than you can ever dream off. Paired that with the tariff’s wars and the inept management of geopolitics, the USA is heading to a high level of recession, or likely a depression. There was already a solution on the table to fund our government, but Johnson just bent the knee (as usual) not only to Trump but to Musk and Ramaswamy… they all hang out together like a gang of derelicts all over the place by the way. Johnson’s task was to push this bill through Congress… fortunately it failed, but that also means we could shut down the government before the holidays. Do this, read a 1,000-page book, and do a COMPREHENSIVE book report on that tomorrow. That’s what Jonhson TASKED every Congress person, just days before the holidays… failure to understand it could destroy our country… let that sink in.
- Musk is the catalyst for this bill that Johnson shoved up to America. Musk is not an elected leader, why is he given power? Is it because he paid for Trump’s legal debts? Is it because his money essentially bought the election? Whatever the case, Musk pushed for it and Johnson complied. As a result, if the government shuts down, then the entire economy goes to a stand-still, right before the holidays. And that is adding to the fact Musk himself is asking Americans to expect financial hardship, despite the fact Trump ran on fixing “Bidenomics” and making prices go down. Which one is it? You’ve guessed it, Trump already is saying that he cannot guarantee prices will go down… although he was saying he would lower the cost of living during the campaign. But who will make money with this? Musk, he will make even more money.
- Musk threatened to prop candidates to fight the GOP congresspeople who dissent with him. Reportedly, Musk on a furious rage threatened GOP leaders that he would use his vast fortune to prop the candidacy of opponents against any Congress person who dares not going along with his misguided ideas. What Musk seems to forget (and should have learned when studying for the civics exam when he applied for his US Citizenship) is that the US Government has co-equal branches of government. And NOBODY has unilateral power, no matter how rich or powerful they are. And what he is doing is technically coercion and treason because it is toppling the constitutionality of our Country. What he is doing is technically the kind of stuff that can get his citizenship revoked and move his happy ass back to South Africa, or wherever they accept him. Maybe Russia or China?
- Musk is a lousy manager. Musk overpaid for Twitter, later rebranding it, and as I type this “X” has lost 80% of its value. For a parallel example, The Tesla Cybertruck – his flagship model, has so many issues it is a meme on its own as far as how bad of an overpriced product it really is. Most of his employees loathe him, and he is known for having an exceedingly thin skin. Speaking of insecurities, you have to be a person with an incredibly low self-esteem when you force your social media platform to show up your posts on EVERY user’s account even if they don’t follow you. Money cannot buy you a likeable personality or real friends. It can buy acolytes, but they won’t throw a life preserver if you fall overboard. Musk, this is not how you’ll gain any friends, you’re making it worse on yourself, and you’ll die alone if you continue going this way.
- Trump IS NOT the Master mind. Unless you live under a rock you will realize that TRUMP IS SUBORDINATE TO PUTIN, even if Trump has not realized it yet. You know who realized it? Putin, and to Putin that is all that matters. He does not care if Trump or his acolytes have gotten the memo, so long Trump and his acolytes keep repeating all Russian state-sponsored talking points verbatim. There is no better useful fool than the one who thinks he is in charge.
- Musk IS NOT the Master mind either. Musk is another useful fool to Putin, even by virtue of being an acolyte to Trump. Maybe in his own imagination Musk thinks that he is even running the White House as a pseudo-president. He is not; he is also pandering to Putin’s talking points. And guess what? If Musk gets out of line, he might have a coincidence happen to them, like any other oligarch who spoke out of turn about Putin. I’m not wishing Musk ill, but I find it pertinent for him to realize that money did not save other oligarchs from falling off balconies when they pissed off Putin. You know who can save you Musk? America! The same country you’re destroying, even if you’re too dumb to realize how.
I can go on. But I hope this gives you a starting point for you to realize how skewed is the messaging coming your way. Trust me when I say that I would rather be doing ANYTHING else than writing this type of stuff. But being a Monday quarterback is not what will save the USA. I write because I care about America, and the world. And just waiting for somebody else to articulate what the media is failing to articulate is just simply stupid, if I have the capacity to speak up – while we can… then that is what I’ll do… and I’m doing it.

America, this is bad
As insane as this might sound, there are MILLIONS of Americans who have no idea that this insanity is happening under their own noses. And they don’t care either. This level of apathy is extremely convenient to Musk and Ramaswamy, because they make tons of money out of the willful ignorance of so many who remain enamored with Trump.
We are in unprecedented times, and this is my advice to Congress as a co-equal branch of government:
1. DO NOT let DOGE become an actual US Government department. YOU have that power; it requires Congressional approval. Just say no. They are already showing you how inefficient and biased they are. They have showed their true colors, even though the indicators were obvious for anybody paying attention. If you’re “shocked” then you were naïve, period. Stop being a rubber stamp for Trump, and work for America, not for Trump… Trump is working for Putin, even if he does not realize it. Have you realized it too?
2. DO NOT Confirm Trump’s Picks. All of Trump’s picks have one thing in common, THEY ARE CONVENIENT TO RUSSIA and any other ADVERSARIAL REGIME that is hell-bent in destroying the USA. Confirming them MAKES YOU COMPLICIT! Think about this: There were 77+Million MAGA Voters. Are THESE the best and more qualified choices of the entire MAGA movement? Or did they buy they placement and access, such as a Secretary of the Navy appointee who has never worn the uniform of our nation, let alone serve in the US Navy or the Marines. His appointments are a gift to Russia to make us weaker. Don’t be complicit. The choices should be somebody who can SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER, loyalists only benefit Putin. Trump is not in charge.
3. Switch Parties if you must… that means YOU! GOP leaders. When you are a Congressperson, it does not matter if you’re a Republican, or a Democrat or an Independent. You are required to serve ALL Americans, period. And if your own party is sabotaging you, then ditch them… become an Independent, or at least use your legislative voting power to vote for America. Your party was highjacked by MAGA, and they don’t even like each other, they keep fighting for stupid things that pander to Putin – even if they are too dumb to realize it. Don’t be complicit, YOU have that power we the people gave you. History and the world is watching. You can either be the hero or the villain’s disposable sidekick.
4. Investigate Musk and Ramaswamy’s motives and conflicts of interest. This is standard procedure by the way, and it is not in any way just targeting them. EVERY government employee has a background investigation, and the reports will decide if they can be part of that team or not (that included YOU). Period… that is true for the military, or for any civilian position, or government contractors. Trump wants to do recess appointments, why do you think is that? Because of the conflict of interests on essentially EVERY pick he has. The common denominator, they are a wish-list for Putin. If you go on recess without doing your due diligence, you’re working for Putin, period. Even If you don’t understand how. And by the way, that is treason because among other things, Putin wants to nuke the USA – he stated as much.
5. DO NOT allow for Recess Appointments. Trump is dragging his feet when it comes to do the proper vetting of all the loyalist that he is putting in positions of power and influence. You are a co-equal branch of government. You don’t have to put up with that – unless YOU ALLOW IT! Your duty is to fill the blind spots from any other branch, so the best solution comes to America. A loyalist, a “yes man/woman” is by definition not the correct fit for a position, because if they are a rubberstamp, then they are not contributing to the team, they are enablers of bad ideas. Only authoritarians want to have “Yes men and women” around them… and yes, all those are disposable the very second that they become inconvenient.
6. HOLD TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE! He works for the American People, not the other way around. This includes all his acolytes. It is a SERVICE, not a “JOB” what they are appointed to do. If they make even ONE red cent out of a conflict of interest, that is corruption… period. If they don’t want the scrutiny, then don’t accept the position, period. The same is for Trump, because if this duty is too much for him to handle, then depose him with the 25 amendments… just beware that Vance is also dangerously quiet in the face of the overreach we are seeing by Musk and Ramaswamy. If he is not speaking up NOW, he won’t then. That begs the question, is he complicit or incompetent? And accountability also applies to YOU, we are all watching. Maybe a lot of America is snoozing, that is not ALL of America. We’re watching and assessing what you do.

Will a special election happen?
Everything around Trump is unprecedented. His first term legislating via Twitter was not normal, and it was unprecedented. Him being impeached twice, and having 90+ criminal charges, and being a convicted felon, along the myriads of other examples… all that was unprecedented too.
Trump has proven himself inept even before he is ready to take office, his policies and guidelines are already raising prices and creating trade wars with the USA. Meanwhile, adversarial regimes are getting their fill on everything they wanted from Trump. Is he aware of this? Or is he part of the scheme? Well, that is for the co-equal branches of government to pursue. The MAGA-led House of Representatives were investigating Biden his ENTIRE term, trying to impeach him with ZERO evidence.
Evidence of Trump’s concerning behavior and policies exists. Surely that Trump gets graded on a curve, but at some point, you need to wake the F*ck up! WE have less than a month, and if there is foreign interference, we need to know and have a special election in line just in case. I know unprecedented, but then again when it is the last time you had a president selling you 100K watches? America, you need to wake up!
Love of hate Trump, it does not matter. His actions are affecting all Americans. His divisive nature remains, and his threats are not even subtle. And for all those MAGA who thought they “owned the libs” and were mad at the “RINOs” and non-MAGA… guess what? You’re stuck in the SAME sinking ship as all of us.
WOKE & PROUD The Charlatans' Inconvenience
Available worldwide on eBook and Paperback
One final statement. We are at the most contentious chapter of American history at the geopolitical level. There are nations literally wanting to nuke us, and shutting down the government makes the USA WEAKER! Because all those keeping an eye on the objective are forced off their jobs and watch stations! By enabling Trump, Musk and Ramaswamy – along with all these acolytes who are pandering Putin’s doctrines, are making the USA weaker. Which side are you on?
Again, I would rather be writing about anything else. Trump shoved himself into the national discourse – more than likely to escape accountability from his 90+ Federal criminal charges, and all other legal fallout that was catching up to him. Right now, I have a time stamp to speak as a preventive and mitigating voice… and will use my First Amendment Right. Why? Because soon, if the co-equal branches of government are spineless, we will lose our rights along with our great nation. And adversarial forces are rooting for America to fall, and the catalyst for the enemy to win is if our elected leaders choose the adversarial regimes talking points instead of America. HLC
