> If you want the return of wasteful, unaccountable and corrupt government spending on ideological goals

Corrupt? You mean like how Musk silences speech on Twitter: https://www.techdirt.com/2025/02/03/musk-shows-us-what-actua...

Unaccountable? You mean like how DOGE has taken steps to ensure its communications are not subject to freedom of information requests and are sealed until 2034:

Ideological? You mean like how DOGE is following the ideology of Curtis Yarvin. Curtis Yarvin thinks American Democracy is a failed project and must be replaced with an American Monarchy. Phase One of his plan is RAGE - Retire All Government Employees and replace them with sycophants and loyalists. They call themselves neo-reactionaries and JD Vance is a fan:

It's remarkable to me that no matter how much Musk lies, no matter how dodgy and grubby his actions, there are always people turning up to carry water and make excuses for him.
