    DOGE isn’t an actual department with any power, as it wasn’t created by an act of Congress. I guess Elon’s power will just be telling Trump who to fire?

      Directing angry mobs at people in these positions could be an effective way of vacating them whether it’s an “official” department or not.

      Im hoping when the time comes to actually create the department someone will inform Trump that’s not really something he can do, and Trump will just shrug and forget about it, while Musk starts crying in the corner.
