The Department of Government Efficiency now has Elon Musk as its sole leader now that Vivek Ramaswamy is out. While some reports suggest Ramaswamy stepped down of his own volition to pursue an Ohio gubernatorial campaign, other reports suggest Ramaswamy was given the boot after internal rifts.24 Personally, I had not expected to agree so strongly with Musk’s first series of cuts. Meanwhile, the group’s website went online, with little more than placeholder text reading “Department of Government Efficiency: The people voted for major reform.” The text was briefly overshadowed by a large image of the Dogecoin cryptocurrency’s logo, which was quickly removed — I assume after an adult walked into the room, caught Musk hunched over a laptop giggling at his handiwork, and put him in time-out. I don’t know what I did to deserve being placed in the darkest timeline, but I am very sorry for whatever it was. In happier news, DOGE is already being sued in separate suits from groups including the National Security Counselors and Public Citizen, both of which aim to bring more transparency into the group’s operations and clarify its status (and whether it and its employees will be subject to ethics laws).25

Other agencies, such as the SEC, have already sprung into action to push Trump’s deregulatory agenda, however. And Elon is trying to pump Dogecoin again, this time with the backing of the government.
