PEU Report offers these two cartoon depictions for government workers. I feel for these people having been through several private equity takeovers and subsequent staff reductions.
Vivek hired his mother and brother as a pharmabro before taking the company public. Shareholders got "right sized" in a subsequent bankruptcy.
Elon's AI just declared him the most significant spreader of disinformation on the internet. Can't wait to see Elon's conflict of interest declaration given his many companies attachments to the federal purse.
Government workers, best of luck in your double man-date. Hopefully, Glassdoor and Indeed will set up sites for people to give feedback on the DOGEBROS.
Gird yourself.
Update 11-17-24: TechGods and PEU billionaires can't lose for winning under Trump II:
For all of Trump's railing against "unelected bureaucrats" holding political influence, he has now appointed a pair of unelected billionaires to propose changes to the same agencies that regulate and fund their companies.
“We need super high-IQ, small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting,” read a statement from DOGE's official X account, which already bears the grey check used to signify a government body. Interested parties must message DOGE directly after first paying Musk an X subscription fee.
"Conflicts of interest R Us" should be the Trump II tagline.Musk and Ramaswamy will possess an official channel to advise Trump on who does or doesn't deserve the government funding, even as their own companies have benefited from massive federal subsidies.
Update 1-20-25: Vivek Ramaswamy is out as co-head of DOGE so you can remove the "S" at the end of Department of Greedy Executives (DOGE). It's just Elon now. The boil has lost its hookworm.
Update 1-29-25: DOGE is offering government workers a buyout, resign and you'll get eight months pay and benefits. Trump's DOGE executive order looks more like a TechGod Enrichment Initiative (TEI).
Update 2-10-25: Not sure anyone could have girded themselves enough for the DOGEBAGS and their AI insertion.
Update 2-15-25: An Alaska Senator (Red Team) said in regard to her questions about DOGE/Trump changes:
“the response so far has been evasive and inadequate.”
