By asking for their “insights,” Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ) are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying potential wasteful spending. On Sunday night, the standard DOGE X accounts posted the second:
” Expand is looking for assistance from the general public!” Choose DM information for reducing waste, fraud, and misuse, along with any helpful perspectives of great ideas, to the appropriate Expand affiliates ( found on the Personnel tab ). For instance, @DOGE_USDA, @DOGE_SSA, forth. Over time, we may put more affiliates.
In less than 48 hours, the post has received about 45 million opinions. In response to it, Musk himself posted an icon of a smiling face with glasses.  , The affiliate account focused on the Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) posted a similar message:” DOGE is seeking help from the public! Choose DM this accounts for information on how to identify and correct waste, fraud, and mistreatment involving the Securities and Exchange Commissions.
In January DOGE posted its successes:” Expand is saving the Federal Government estimate. $ 1 billion/day, largely from stopping the choosing of people into unnecessary jobs, termination of DEI and stopping improper obligations to international institutions, all consistent with the President’s Executive Purchases”.
As a result, DOGE has now set up” Expand advertising” accounts for a number of organizations and asks the public to help eliminate government waste. Agencies with transactions so far include the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the State Department, NASA, Social Security Administration and numerous other governmental agencies.
Soon after taking office for the next day on January 20, President Donald Trump established Depends using an executive order. According to him and Musk, the department’s goal is to drastically reduce spending and improve efficiency within the federal government.
Overall, DOGE is looking to trim$ 2 trillion in government spending, with Musk telling Stagwell Inc. CEO Mark Penn early last month that it had a” good shot at getting”$ 1 trillion, reports Fox Business.
