My take: I really wish the left & right agreed on the basic purpose of Federal gov't. I think Elon means well but is out of his league, and he has confused being rich with being smart. The Federal budget needed cutting, but DOGE is not the way to do it. The end does not justify the means.

Sorry folks, I have to wake up early and this is starting to be a lot of platitudes and made up stuff, so I'm going to call it quits on the reporting for the night. I was hoping for more details on #DOGE operations but they don't seem to be forthcoming.
