This Out-of-the-Gate action by the Non-Government Organization (NGO), DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) may foretell the next 18+ months of DOGE’s self-imposed life ending July 4, 2026. This first Musk assessment revealed extensive and massive political pork earmarked spending.
The Congress and all manner of hired bureaucrats may face increased public scrutiny, posted for all to see. Who knows, the idea may expand to all levels of government and their hired hands.
Creative Destruction
Previously, we discussed this economic substitution model. “The economist Joseph Schumpeter was the first to coin the term creative destruction–the destruction of old markets and those active in them through innovation, & inventing of new markets, this can be new technologies, methods, business models, services, or products.” One can argue that the creative destruction cycle time is very short today.
And perhaps getting even shorter!
Gort or Grok?
In the original (1951) movie, The Day the Earth Stood Still, the robot Gort has the ability to destroy the world. It is prevented from doing so by the utterance (by a human) of the key words, “Klaatu barada nikto.”
According to đť•Ź, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) robot of today, Grok (formally defined as “to understand something”) “leverages the đť•Ź platform to understand what’s happening in the world in real time. We recently launched two additional features to enhance this experience even further: web search and citations. Now Grok draws upon posts from đť•Ź and webpages from the broader internet to provide timely and accurate answers to your queries. We also added citations, so you can easily dive deeper into a source to learn more or verify the information provided by Grok.”
Fortunately, three simple words neutralized Gort, and the earth was saved. Grok will not so easily be rendered impotent, unless the First Amendment is repealed.
The government world has been (figurately) creatively destroyed and changed forever. Moreover, in their world of consistent suboptimal performance, most have no idea what has already happened to their cherished long-standing bureaucratic processes.
The Regulatory Public Comment period will never be the same.
After DOGE
It appears that Musk has put in place an AI solution that will live on after the formal closure of DOGE in 2026. Grok and other emerging AI tools can continue to review and assess each and every piece of proposed legislation and other government edicts regardless of length and/or complexity.
Like Hacking, those opposed to honesty will seek ways to thwart AI. Those providing transparency solutions will need to stay one step ahead, just like law enforcement agencies that are required to enforce and uphold the law. If accepted social behaviors norms are to prevail, transparency is demanded.
Finally, we can “read the bill to find out what is in it.” Prior to voting!
This Accountability Sucks!
Well, get over it! One suspects entrenched vested interests will try to find ways around this revolution, but likely to no avail. There is not only a new sheriff in town, even after he leaves, the new accountability will remain.
And so much for the current media business model whereby either a single individual or small group amalgamates society’s daily activities and present the proletariat with their (often agenda driven/opinionated/biased) version of THE NEWS.

DOGE’d
The Day the Congress Stood Still
On December 18, 2024, Elon Musk delivered on the social media site, 𝕏 the death knell of a 1500+ page so called Continuing Resolution that was to stave off a Federal Government shutdown. Later it was replaced with a much shorter (100+ page) bill that passed largely intact.
This Out-of-the-Gate action by the Non-Government Organization (NGO), DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) may foretell the next 18+ months of DOGE’s self-imposed life ending July 4, 2026. This first Musk assessment revealed extensive and massive political pork earmarked spending.
