The stroke of a Trump II pen turned the established United States Digital Service into the United States DOGE Service. The Executive Order also established a temporary DOGE organization, headed by the permanent DOGE's administrator.
For those unaware of the US Digital Services department or its origin story:
Founded by President Obama in August of 2014, the U.S. Digital Service brought together the best engineering, design, and government talent to change our government’s approach to technology.The Executive Order specifies the DOGE Administrator start a Software Modernization Initiative. TechGods are masters of software and now have billions more taxpayer dollars in their sights.
Elon Musk is the head of Trump's DOGE. The Executive Order seems to indicate Musk will become the USDS Administrator, heading both temporary and permanent DOGE arms. Never mind that Elon has multiple billion dollar companies to run as CEO.
It appears Musk will get that coveted White House office and the perk of selling stock holdings and delaying the payment of capital gains taxes.
And the potential source of this money for software modernization? Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. It's truly Trumpian for billionaire TechGods to become trillionaires on the backs of voters struggling to get by.
DEI has been replaced with TEI, Trump's TechGod Enrichment Initiative.
Update: As with Trump there is a self enrichment aspect, given he is the Godliest of the TechGods.
