Does America want all unelected people making decisions in government gone?

[Votto]

As the Left melts down as they throw tantrum after tantrum because Elon Musk, who has not been elected directly by the people, is making governmental decisions, is everyone alright with getting rid of all unelected officials?

That would be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As of November 2024, the federal government employed just over 3 million people. The number of federal employees has topped 3 million since September 2024. The last time the government could claim that many employees was in September 1994.


Think of the savings!!

However, Elon works for free from what I hear, in fact, he is the only one that works for free.

DOGE has no authority to do anything except look at things and make recommendations to President Trump to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse.
If Trump agrees, he writes an EO to implement the recommendations.
If Trump disagrees he does not make the change.

Extreme measures are generally not good ones.

I would propose that Musk is making proposals that president Trump ultimately decides upon.

Trump works for no salary. As for Musk. In addition to offering his services for free, he is no more than a consultant that was hired to identify government waste. I feel if he is identifying public waste that should be removed, elected officials should heed his advice if they find it to be true. Unelected consultants are used in all aspects of government. NASA and the space program are one example.

There should be a department that targets waste created as well as corruption that is more than sure to come because humans be people..

It speaks volumes that none exist.

I really thought that was congress' job. Sen. William Proxmire did a great job of identifying it from 75-88 with his Golden Fleece Award.

Too bad they are needed due to the current clusterfuck of a situation with the Federal Bureaucracy

I'm sure there will be more left-wing loon activist judges to fight

We all knew they were waiting in the wings like last time.

It should be that way, but it isn't. He has been given the keys to the city and it's inner workings, whether it is legal or not. Sometimes the difference between legal and illegal is whether prosecuted. It is clear, Trump owes him and is repaying, for paying for the trump campaign. It was an election cycle where rank and file, long term Republican donors, simply would not contribute at previous levels, that would sustain an effective nationwide presidential campaign. So, without Elon forking up 64 Plus Percent of the campaign funding, he paid for the victory, and bought the control, he desired.

I too, submit my opinion, giving direct access control to the Federal payment system is beyond the pale. But, with trump pick in DOJ having more loyalty to Trump than the country, it is unlikely any action will be taken. It simply boils down to how far trump allows Elon to go.

turns out elon is weeding out more than just wasteful spending,,

we now know USAID was funding corp media to promote establishment policy against american interests by pushing anti trump/american fake news

Yes all the hidden methods of self enrichment are now exposed and that’s just So terrible

Someone has to do it. One of the hallmarks of success is the willingness to delegate authority to others. Even God can't be everywhere at once, that's why he has Gabriel and his angels, the "eyes of God that run to and fro through the earth".

Why do you trust Elon with this control?

 

[progressive hunter]

Why do you trust Elon with this control?

why re you afraid of him??

is it because he is exposing corruption like we always claimed was there,,

 

[sartre play]

Why do you trust Elon with this control?

Good question.

 

[Concerned American]

Musk has no control. He can make recommendations--that's all. Are you afraid of what he might find?
