One interesting thing to think about is that there has never been a way to access all the huge troves of data across the US government as a whole. Besides the computing challenge, it’s also been questionable given our basic values to create what would essentially be a Department of Information.

Thus, ask yourself what DOGE really is? A way to find efficiencies in government spending using digital means or perhaps something far more insidious and outside of the control of the normal authorities and elected officials. I asked my smartest tech friends and will be posting their thoughts.

This interview with Bill Gates – and what he says about Musk – is wild.

![Gates and Musk are from different generations, the responsible baby boomer versus the Gen X hustler, and their personalities couldn’t be more different although both want to conquer the world. Gates is on a mission to save lives now, but Musk wants to reach space as well and dominate both spheres. Gates doesn’t like the comparison. “I’m ultra-different. It’s really insane that he can destabilise the political situations in countries. I think in the US foreigners aren’t allowed to give money; other countries maybe should adopt safeguards to make sure super-rich foreigners aren’t distorting their elections. It’s difficult to understand why someone who has a car factory in both China and in Germany, whose rocket business is ultra-dependent on relationships with sovereign nations and who is busy cutting $2 trillion in US government expenses and running five companies, is obsessing about this grooming story in the UK. I’m like, what?”He’s particularly riled by Musk’s put-downs of democratically elected leaders and his discovery of the hard right. “You want to promote the right wing but say Nigel Farage is not right wing enough… I mean, this is insane shit. You are for the AfD [in Germany].” Is he embarrassed a billionaire techie has gone rogue? “We can all overreach… If someone is super-smart, and he is, they should think how they can help out. But this is populist stirring.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jtadzjgpup2tforvzliq74tp/bafkreie342matwzpl6wtjh4onvwf7z64h3qu5chwwgv72yhcbwjvl37t7e@jpeg)

No better quote from Merrick Garland summarizes why he was the wrong man for the job than this from his farewell speech.
From start to finish, he brought norms to a Trump fight and democracy suffered.

Ninety-two years ago this month, Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of the Weimar Republic. In less than two months time, he systematically disabled and then dismantled his country’s democratic structures and processes.
