Have you noticed how many Democrats are absolutely melting down lately? There’s a simple reason – Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is actually doing what it promised.

In just a couple of months, they’ve eliminated tens of thousands of useless government jobs, shut down wasteful agencies, and canceled billions in questionable grants and contracts. Every outraged scream from the left is just another confirmation that Musk and his team are finding exactly the kind of waste they were looking for.

And boy, have they found some doozies! From Social Security checks going to 15 million people supposedly over 120 years old (talk about longevity!) to hundreds of millions in small business loans approved for literal infants.

The scale of government waste DOGE has already uncovered makes those $10,000 Pentagon toilet seats from the 1980s look like absolute bargains. But what Musk just announced will have taxpayers cheering and bureaucrats updating their resumes.

The $1 Trillion Mission

Elon Musk and his team of efficiency experts have set their sights on a goal that would have seemed impossible before now: cutting the federal deficit by a staggering $1 trillion. That’s trillion with a “T” – or about $3,000 for every man, woman, and child in America.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:
“This is a revolution, and I think it might be the biggest revolution in the government since the original revolution,” Musk told Fox News, joined by seven DOGE staffers. He also noted that much of the department’s work could be completed soon.

Unlike most government initiatives that operate in shadows and jargon, DOGE is refreshingly transparent. In an unprecedented Fox News appearance, Musk appeared alongside seven previously unknown DOGE team members – a collection of engineers, bankers, and corporate executives who are applying private sector efficiency to the bloated federal bureaucracy.

The timeline? Musk believes they can accomplish most of this ambitious goal within his 130-day limit as a special government employee. Even the notoriously impatient Musk admitted that while this pace might seem “incredibly fast action by government standards,” it’s still “slower than I’d like, to be totally frank.”

Where Did All Our Money Go?

If you’ve ever wondered why your tax bill keeps climbing while government services seem to get worse, DOGE is finding your answers. The examples of waste they’re uncovering would be hilarious if they weren’t so infuriating.

Take the Small Business Administration, for instance. According to Musk, the SBA approved over $300 million in loans to people under the age of 11. The youngest “entrepreneur” getting your tax dollars? A nine-month-old baby. Apparently, the government believes in really early childhood business education.

Or consider Social Security, where DOGE discovered that 40% of calls to certain phone centers were fraudulent. Even more shocking, they found 15 million people over age 120 still listed as living beneficiaries. For context, the oldest verified human ever was 122.

As one DOGE team member bluntly put it: “We’re changing the culture — the federal government can’t pass an audit. If this was a private business, we’d all be fired.” And that’s exactly the point. In the private sector, this level of financial mismanagement would lead to bankruptcy and criminal charges. In government, it’s been business as usual – until now.

Freedom Through Efficiency

So what happens when we actually cut $1 trillion from the federal budget? Something amazing – we get our country back.

Imagine a government that runs as smoothly as an Apple Store. That’s not just a pipe dream – it’s literally what DOGE is working toward. Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia, who’s part of the team, is transforming government retirement processing from a months-long ordeal into a days-long simple procedure. “We really believe that the government can have an Apple Store-like experience,” he explained.

When the government shrinks, everything else grows – your freedom, your wallet, and the economy. That trillion dollars doesn’t just vanish; it stays in the private economy where it creates real jobs, not paper-pushing positions. It means lower inflation as the government borrows and prints less money. It means businesses can focus on serving customers instead of navigating bureaucracy.

Most importantly, it means restoring the America our founders envisioned – a country where government serves the people, not the other way around.

Key Takeaways:

• DOGE has uncovered billions in government waste and fraud, including $300 million in small business loans given to children under 11 years old.
• Elon Musk and his team plan to cut the federal deficit by $1 trillion, which they believe can be largely accomplished within months.
• The team aims to transform government services to match private sector efficiency, creating an “Apple Store-like experience” for citizens.
