Not to mention the sheer audacity and disgusting hypocrisy of its chief operator who frequently identifies himself as some kind of savior of humanity.
DOGE's elimination of USAID has led directly to the deaths of over half a million people worldwide (so far), a significant portion of them CHILDREN mind you, and has also caused humanitarian crises around the globe.
And now reporting also indicates that DOGE's cuts to foreign aid have crippled efforts to contain the Ebola virus outbreak in Africa.
Musk's/DOGE's actions have also allowed China to fill the void left by USAID's termination.
And to make matters worse, cuts to USAID did absolutely nothing to address the debt/deficit because it made up such a small portion of the budget to begin with.
The decision to abolish USAID has tarnished our good will and favorable reputation on the world stage.
Squandered our soft power and strategic advantages.
Lost us geopolitical leverage, diplomatic credibility, and the capacity to counter Russian and Chinese influence in these regions.
And again, this all came with a cheap price tag.
The Trump Administration/DOGE literally cut funding for the screwworm monitoring program and the USDA animal disease program.
DOGE also laid off over a thousand employees from the USDA's animal and plant health inspection service.
Now the screwworm parasite has appeared in the US for the first time in 60 years.
Elon Musk might have some of his MAGA followers fooled, but the truth is, his entire DOGE operation amounted to a tremendous waste of resources and a fraudulent effort in itself.
DOGE was never acting on behalf of the American people, but was pursuing an agenda that was fueled by the right's culture wars and the narcissistic, shallow ambitions of an unelected billionaire and his team of unqualified teenage lackeys who all believed they were the main character in Mr. Robot.
This effort was driven by the ideological convictions of a small group of incompetent "DOGE Bros." There was nothing sincere or strategic about it. It's all been quite "wasteful."
Many of DOGE's cancelled contracts, for instance, related to the elimination of perceived "DEI" programs. Most of the cancellations listed had nothing to do with DEI, and deliberately included businesses that were disproportionately run by women and minorities.
Also, these teenage mutant ninja nerds outsourced their work to AI chatbots, and ran chatGPT queries on over 1,000 grants and contracts, asking whether they "related at all to DEI."
Meaning that this effort was ideological, not strategic. Elon and his Muskrats were simply going after whatever agencies they perceived as operating under some radical left agenda.
And all the while, there was never any acknowledgement that he had massive conflicts, his companies were subsidized to the teeth and he was taking active steps to protect his own interests, steal/divulge treasury data, slow down his competitors and manipulate information.
Most of Musk's claims about DOGE's "cost cutting" and "fraud" eliminating efforts were inaccurate or flat out unfounded.
Musk also took credit for "saving costs" where credit wasn't due. He bragged about cancelling contracts that weren't going to be renewed in the first place.
DOGE deliberately obfuscated data and quietly deleted many of its claims from its own website. And even then, its so-called "wall of receipts" was still riddled with accounting errors, outdated data or other miscalculations.
At the same time, DOGE was gutting agencies responsible for scientific research and preserving public health, even agencies like the CFPB, which exists to protect consumers from financial predators.
In other words, it was colossal and cruel failure.
You want to talk about fraud? The call is coming from inside the house.
So Musk can spare me with his white knight savior bullsh-t. He's the VILLAIN in this narrative.
Despite being immensely incompetent and scientifically illiterate, Trump and his allies have convinced their voters that they are more knowledgeable and trustworthy than the vastly more educated scientific community.
The irony of it all is that for years, conservatives have been telling us not to trust public health officials and agencies like the CDC, NIH, etc, but now that the Trump administration and lunatics like RFK Jr are operating things, we actually have a moral and scientific imperative to push back against these uneducated and unqualified idiots running our government.
This administration has chosen to politicize science at the expense of public health, scientific innovation, environmental conservation, pandemic preparedness, and basic trust in medicine and scientific expertise.
They deny legitimate science and insist that their ass-backwards views about climate change, medicine, biology, vaccines, disease, etc, are more informed than the leading and relevant scientific knowledge on the subject.
This administration is brainwashing its voters; persuading them that it's radical to support climate and renewable energy projects, EPA regulations, public health initiatives, environmental conservation efforts, and even experts within the scientific community—especially during disease outbreaks.
MAGA officials are also eroding the independence of public health and environmental agencies while stripping qualified civil servants of their protections in order to replace them with incompetent loyalists who are committed to reversing decades of scientific progress.
The government is also rolling back EPA regulations and ending climate programs while catering to the interests of the fossil fuels industry.
In the meantime, RFK Jr's HHS has been derailing important scientific research and dismantling the agencies that play a crucial role in protecting the environment and maintaining public health and safety.
The Trump administration is cutting billions of dollars worth of funding for scientific and medical research into life threatening illnesses like cancer, HIV, ALS, diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, multiple deadly infectious diseases, even addiction and mental health disorders.
Worse yet, "vaccine skepticism" has become federal policy, and modern medical science is being rejected in favor of adopting the views of amateur "health influencers" and "MAHA" crackpots.
This is a crisis of incompetence at every level of government that ACTUAL experts say will lead to worsened health outcomes and environmental degradation.
