    Hey genius, he’s naming it off the same old meme that the crypto coin was named after. Because he’s not just a weird, stupid jackass, he’s also autistic and on “prescription” stimulants.

    Have we all forgot that Doge wasn’t originally a crypto? It was a meme. The coin is just riding off of that.

      It was fun at one point. When collective efforts through the currency put the Jamaican bobsleigh team into the olympics. A time before we collectively realized how terrible crypto is both for economy and environment.

      Now it’s just sad.

      the coin put the original meme in its shadow at this point. Also it’s not that culturally relevant anymore, whole doge kinda still is.

    it is a matter of weeks, possibly days, before musk makes a stupid joke about being “head of DOGE” and then photoshops his head onto the picture of the dog.

    you have been warned.

      Owned by corporations, apparently.

      Musk is vying for government contracts, and it doesn’t take a genius to see that if he’s put in charge of “government efficiency,” he’s going to turn NASA’s research and engineering into skeleton crews. I can guarantee it won’t be Blue Origin picking up the slack after NASA is no longer able to create spacecrafts.

    Translating from neoliberalese, “government efficiency” means tearing apart every utility and government function that a profit can be made out of and sharing between your favorite oligarchs. Think the US healthcare system, but for everything.

      For those thinking “well this couldn’t include things like the military”, it ABSOLUTELY CAN AND WILL. The GOP wanted someone who will run the country like a business, AND THIS is how business is run now - absorb a company, strip it for parts to sell off, move onto the next company, repeat. “The next company” here being, likely, another country.

        I never get a good answer regarding why they think a government should be ran like a business. They don’t fill the same niches, and the Constitution clearly lays out the role of government:

        …form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…

        Nothing about consolidating profits into the hands of a few, nothing about profits at all, actually. Nothing about buying/manufacturing and selling goods or services

        And why do they always trot out the worst possible examples of businessmen as who they want to run said imaginary corpocountry (Trump is self explanatory, but Romney’s entire ethos was buying companies and bankrupting them)?

          To them, the ideal state of being for a human is to be rich. Never mind all the other silly details like their family or health or ethics or whatever. Rich people who run businesses are the greatest and most admirable among us. We should all be so lucky to have one of them lower themselves to serving the country.
