REVEALED: DOGE's Final Goal as It Launches Government Blitzkrieg


Elon Musk's end goal has been exposed as he continues to lose weight federal government through callous redundancies and the slashing of entire departments.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), run by the billionaire SpaceX founder, has laid off countless federal employees throughout its first weeks around.

The bloodbath has up until now targeted DEI works with, in line with Trump's anti-woke agenda, and presumably 'lazy' federal employees who are quickly to be replaced by expert system.

Musk's main aim seems decreasing the federal government device to make it much easier for President Donald Trump to control, according to the Washington Post.

It comes after Trump, 78, declined to dismiss serving as a 'dictator' the month before he was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.

Longtime Musk ally and investor Shervin Pishevar informed the Post that Trump and the X tsar have actually been functioning as 2 complimentary 'storms' tearing through government.

' Chaos is frequently the birthplace of new orders, new systems and new paradigms,' Pishevar said of the major overhaul presently being performed by DOGE.

' Washington does not understand how to deal with people who refuse to play the game by their guidelines.

' Donald Trump and Elon Musk are 2 various storms backed by a majority of Americans - one political, one technological.

' But both are tearing through the same rotting structure.'

The reduced government will likewise provide less oversight over personal service and comprise a smaller share of the US economy.

The DOGE team just recently announced strategies to deploy a brand-new and untried tool to assist his objective of slashing costs and 'lazy' federal workers - the release of expert system to update government systems.

Josh Gruenbaum - head of the Federal Acquisition Service at the General Services Administration (GSA) - revealed that they are considering making use of AI 'in our portfolios.'

That includes ways to minimize staff around the country, he said.

We'll be 'cutting redundant company functions and associated staffing,' Gruenbaum said, pointing to the capacity of AI taking over already-established tasks.

Trump's DOGE is also offering soft 'buyout' offers to federal staff members in the hopes of cutting back in between 5 and 10 percent of the labor force.

A White House official validated to DailyMail.com on Thursday that more than 40,000 federal workers had accepted the offer since February 6.

Musk's aim appears to be decreasing the federal government machine to make it for President Donald Trump to manage, according to the Washington Post

Thomas Shedd, a previous Tesla engineer who's now also at the GSA, apparently held a meeting Monday to detail plans to carry out AI into the federal government.

' I'm not stating that this is an easy task, however it is a job that's worth attempting to pursue and one that just we can do as an internal group, right?,' he said.

' We can't bring a 3rd party in, hire them and have them work on a task like this. It has to be an internal innovation group that deals with this,' Shedd said, according to 404 media, who obtained audio of the meeting.

Musk has likewise attacked the US Agency for International Development (USAID) - the government firm tasked with humanitarian relief overseas - calling it a 'criminal company' after Donald Trump claimed it was 'run by extreme lunatics.'

' USAID is a criminal company,' Musk composed on his X platform recently - without providing any evidence, before adding: 'Time for imoodle.win it to pass away'.

In another X post, Musk doubled down and asked his 215 million X followers: 'Did you know that USAID, utilizing YOUR tax dollars, funded bioweapon research, consisting of Covid-19, that eliminated millions of people?'

He did not elaborate on the claims, which included a discredited report that authorities in the previous administration connected to a Russian disinformation campaign.

Trump also connected the company on Sunday, claiming it has 'been run by a bunch of extreme lunatics, and we're getting them out ... and then we'll decide (on its future).'

The president highlighted his assistance for Musk, informing press reporters on Sunday night he felt the billionaire was 'doing a great job' even if they did not settle on every point.

' He's a huge cost-cutter. Sometimes we won't agree with it or we'll not go where he wishes to go ... he's a smart guy. Very smart. And he's really much into cutting the spending plan of our federal government,' Trump said.

The criticism from Musk follows more than a week of trouble inside USAID, Washington's main company financing life-saving aid worldwide.

According to The Washington Post, USAID managed over $40 billion of appropriations, prawattasao.awardspace.info less than 1 percent of the federal spending plan, in 2023 - supplied to about 130 nations.

Trump bought a freeze on practically all U.S. foreign aid for 3 months, saying his administration will examine costs to make sure money is dispersed in line with his 'America First' diplomacy.

Though he subsequently released waivers for food and other humanitarian aid to continue, aid employees state uncertainty reigns with the future of the company as an independent firm far from ensured.

A senior authorities from a US-based company feared that the prioritization of 'em ergency' assistance was part of a wider plan in which Washington would cease funds for anything else.

Former Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes said the dismantling of USAID 'will cost unknown lives around the globe, ravage America's standing, and massively empower China and other countries.'

He included: 'There's no excusing it - it's a shameful, silly, self-own without reason and a harbinger of even worse to come.'

There have actually been reports Trump wishes to roll USAID into the State Department.

Since Trump's inauguration Musk has addressed far-right groups in Europe, given a notorious raised-arm gesture compared to a Nazi salute, and attacked the Treasury for making authorized payments on the government's behalf.

How do you feel about Musk's role in the government?

Comment now DOGE was established as part of the so-called 'executive workplace of the president,' as a momentary 18-month organization under the repurposed United States Digital Service.

It does not delight in full status as a federal government department, which would need the approval of Congress, and Musk is neither federal employee nor a federal government official. It is uncertain to whom DOGE is accountable.

CNN reported that two senior security authorities at USAID were placed on forced leave after they disallowed personnel from Musk's DOGE from accessing classified documents as part of their sprawling effort to inspect the federal government's books.

The two DOGE representatives also desired to gain access to personnel files and security systems at USAID's head office, the broadcaster reported, asteroidsathome.net citing numerous sources.

Nearly 30 profession personnel in the agency's Legislative and Public Affairs bureau lost gain access to overnight to their emails, a minimum of 5 sources said, bringing the overall number of senior USAID profession personnel who have actually been placed on leave over the past week close to 100.

'DOGE did gain access to the building the other day,' a senior Senate Democratic aide said, asteroidsathome.net asking for anonymity to discuss the occurrence. USAID security officers attempted to turn away DOGE personnel without security clearances.

'They (security workers) were threatened with action by the federal Marshals Service,' the aide said.

Following the incident, the director of USAID security, John Voorhees, and his deputy Brian McGill were removed from their positions and put on leave, sources said.

The pair thought themselves legally obligated to deny gain access to.

'USAID is a criminal company,' Musk, the billionaire owner of Tesla and SpaceX who has actually ended up being the president's most effective backer, wrote on his X platform without supplying any proof adding 'Time for it to pass away'.

PBS also reported that DOGE personnel tried to gain access to 'protect spaces.'

There was no record of what details DOGE officials were able to obtain in those areas, however the offices they accessed consisted of classified files and individual details about Americans who operate at USAID, the sources said.

Katie Miller, a DOGE spokesperson, said on social networks platform X that no classified product was accessed without correct security clearances.

Matt Hopson, who had actually simply been designated as USAID chief of staff by the Trump administration, has resigned, 5 sources acquainted with the matter said. A congressional source said his resignation followed the event with DOGE officials.

Steven Cheung, a senior aide to Trump, posted on X that the PBS report was 'legally FAKE NEWS. Not even from another location true at all. This is how unserious and unreliable the media is. '

Meanwhile, USAID's account on X has been handicapped and the USAID website has actually been down given that Saturday afternoon, an indication that the end is near for the agency.

The U.S. is without a doubt the world ´ s largest donor of humanitarian aid, with USAID administering billions of dollars in humanitarian, advancement and security assistance in more than 100 nations.

Its funding goes to programs on everything from ladies's health in dispute zones to access to tidy water, HIV/AIDS treatments, energy security and anti-corruption work.

Musk published a series of tweets on Sunday targeting USAID

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy has criticized the 'overall destruction' of the agency.

'Individuals elected Donald Trump to be President-- not Elon Musk,' Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X.

'Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and intentions, raiding US categorized details is a serious risk to national security,' she said.

Democratic Senator asteroidsathome.net Cory Booker turned to social media on Sunday to sound off on the 'taking apart' of USAID.

'Trump and Musk are recklessly and illegally dismantling USAID, an important national security agency that conserves lives, advances U.S. interests, and kenpoguy.com promotes peace,' Booker composed.

'Their harmful actions are putting the health of individuals, specifically children, at severe danger, and will certainly lead to future public health and migration crises in the U.S. - let alone suffering around the world.'

Senior Democratic members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, including its chair Jeanne Shaheen, on Sunday sent out a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio seeking an explanation over the occurrence.

Shaheen said that she was working to collect Democrats and Republicans to request for answers.

The international freeze on the majority of U.S. foreign aid is already sending shockwaves worldwide.

Field medical facilities in Thai refugee camps, landmine clearance in battle zone, and drugs to treat millions struggling with illness such as HIV are amongst the programs at danger of elimination.

U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Brian Mast, a Republican, said on Sunday that he would support moving USAID under the State Department which there needs to be 'more command and control.'

Asked on CBS' 'Face the Nation' if congressional approval was required or whether Trump could act unilaterally, Mast did not respond to.

The 'purging of individuals throughout the State Department, other companies' and freezing aid were 'all really important and needed steps to make certain that we secure America,' he said.

It comes a day after DOGE carried out a comparable operation at the Treasury Department gaining access to delicate details including the Social Security and Medicare customer payment systems.

The system is run by non-political career civil servants and controls trillions of dollars of federal government funds that go to programs like Social Security and Medicare. Any disturbance in its operation would trigger widespread financial failure.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent provided Musk's DOGE the thumbs-up to have complete access to the payments system late on Friday.

It was not immediately clear why Musk wants access to the system, which deals with around $5trillion yearly, but it might provide the Trump administration another implies to target wasteful spending.

A senior Treasury official resigned over Musk's group accessing delicate details.
