Elon Musk JUST Gave *NEW* Details for DOGE w/ Trump!!! [Government Efficiency]
FULL TRANSCRIPT
we now have updates from Elon Musk and
VI ramaswami on what they're going to do
with Doge I can't believe this is
happening so fast and it comes at the
same time as CNN just said or CNN close
enough CNBC just had this to say new
treasury data out just now shows the
government spent $882 billion on
interest costs just in October alone
that was the first month of the new
fiscal year but that is actually an 8%
decrease from the same month a year ago
it is a reflection of lower rates not
exactly of any progress made in reducing
the nation's debt load overall for the
month treasury ran up a deficit of $121
billion on an adjusted basis not exactly
a great start for the fiscal year that
was due both to lower revenues which
were down about 19% in part because of
lower corporate taxes coming in and it
was higher spending spending was up an
adjusted 8% overall and that higher
spending was driven in part by the
Department of Education costs there for
the month were up 19% from the same
month a year ago and at Veterans Affairs
they were up 177% there and guys I want
to add we get this Glimpse at the
treasury's budget every single month but
this one does come on the same day that
we're talking about Elon Musk and this
new Department of government efficiency
which does have this goal of cutting $2
trillion out of the $6 trillion federal
budget so with spending up at education
and the VA last month those are by no
means the largest buckets of federal
spending but they are two areas guys
where there's been a lot of focus a lot
of discussion on cutting or maybe even
eliminating the entire agency so if you
want to cut a third of the budget I
guess you do have to start somewhere
clean energy is preparing for a messy
transition possibly the department of
energy is racing to give out money for
green projects before President elect
Donald Trump takes office now yeah right
let's rush to spend more money before
Trump takes it away it's just such a
disgrace and a mess my goodness uh so
some things that we really want to
address here first uh Elon Musk gave the
high five emoji to suggesting that we
will have open gov that's a reference to
open AI though hopefully that doesn't go
from a nonprofit to a for-profit uh he
also s reiterated that doge is only
authorized for 21 months through July
4th
2026 that'll be a few months before
midterms uh worth noting so got to kind
of probably wrap up and show some
progress by then so that way you could
go into midterms and hopefully brag
about progress
TBD uh you'll also find that doge is
designed to provide advice and guidance
to the government from outside the
government that's a quote from within
the announcement of do now what this is
actually interesting or why this is
interesting is it prevents Elon or vi
from having to divest for having any
kind of larger role with the White House
and so I think that's actually kind of
fascinating to think about because you
don't want Elon to have to divest from X
or Tesla or whatever or SpaceX except
now he can have substantial influence
inside of government without actually
having to follow the limitations that
government might put on him now on top
of that uh we have seen Elon Musk engage
in examples of wanting to get rid of
wasteful spending like the wasteful
spending that James lenford in Congress
has previously alleged now he's got a
lot of these in fact he publishes what
he calls as a waste booklet and there's
an example where he actually references
$20,000 getting funneled to the US state
department in
Ecuador and that money was being used
specifically for well you take a listen
yourself asking a question for
last year the state department did a
grant to Ecuador to host 12 drag shows
in
Ecuador with American tax dollars
now yeah so as usual what I like to do
is I like to fact check some of these
claims and when I did I I couldn't find
a lot of data on it but I found Newsweek
had a pretty good breakdown on it and
it's true 12 drag shows potentially even
an advertisement for diversity Equity
inclusion and money for posters and
other information so uh yeah Newsweek
has the story on this fact check is the
Biden Administration funding drag shows
in Ecuador now it's it's disguised all
as sort of like hey well we're just you
know sending money to our state
department over there to our embassy
over there don't don't worry they're
spending it on initiatives that are
important to them so they can relate to
the local community or I don't know
whatever they're do it's not not not a
good look yeah then there's also
apparently
$350,000 that was getting funneled to AI
smart
toilets this one's just a little gross
but apparently there are 35 to 37 anal
creases that are like an anal
fingerprint so we can identify different
people and then we can track your in
color flow rate and stool to measure the
person's health that way quote the data
does not go down the sewer but up to a
secure internet
Cloud I put my sources on this over on
ec.com you can see it there but oh my
gosh then apparently you had quote the
National Science Foundation joined their
potty party with a new $1 million grant
for Internet connected toilets that can
do passive urinalysis
testing they're actually Grants awarded
for this kind of
stuff I mean I'm trying to think of how
this could be useful maybe in like a
doctor's office or a hospital or
something but it just also seems a
little weird like why not let maybe the
Private Industry come up with something
and actually prove it first prove that
we actually need it first Beyond like
just testing people when they need to be
tested rather than just testing
everybody who uses a toilet which just
seems like a waste of
resources and if there's something
actually provable and useful how about
then we spend money on it rather than
your analysis on everyone's flow rates
and measuring people's a incases like a
fingerprint man that just seems weird
now VI also says that they're going to
open source their work so he's been
tweeting about this and he talks about
how they're going to open source all of
the data for Doge everything that Doge
does remember that's the department of
governmental efficiency uh and this is
important because they really want to
showcase everything that they're doing
every step of the way and apparently
what they're even thinking about doing
is having a potential leaderboard where
you could see the biggest examples of
government waste that they're able to
catch okay okay that's kind of
interesting you or at least remember
they're not in government so they're not
going to be able to ask these things but
they will be able to make
recommendations for these sorts of
things so I find it kind of interesting
hey let's see what they could do with it
uh Elon Musk also mentioned in uh an
item uh or an interview rather an item
uh hey you know we have
428 agencies in
government why do we have more agencies
than years that our country has been a
country maybe we could like cap the
number of government agencies there are
at like
99 and I thought it was kind of an
interesting analogy it's kind of like it
is interesting that's a lot of agency
growth now I mean there there a lot of
things the government has to do but then
again when money's getting funnel to
drag shows in Ecuador and AI smart
toilets which reminds me a lot of
getting ready to post a video on what's
going on in Germany apparently Germany
was funding bike Lanes in
Peru uh also through their sort of
embassies and local grants or whatever
they're funding bike Lanes in
Peru because lower greenhouse gas gas
emissions in Peru and spending 20 plus
million dollars on these bike lanes
andove are going to end up improving the
global climate and that benefits
Germans okay yeah department of waste
department and listen to Elon I kind of
like those it's more it's more fun um
yeah uh and uh we're just take a look at
at at all the federal agencies and say
do we really need whatever it is 428
federal agencies like there's so many
that people have never even heard of or
and that have overlapping areas of
responsibility we should I don't know
probably we should get I mean there are
more federal agencies than there are
years since the establishment of the
United States which means that we've
created more than one Federal agency per
year on
average that seems a lot that's a lot
that's a lot uh so we should have that
seems crazy
um I think we should anyway yeah that's
just another example or reference rather
to uh elon's take here on these agencies
uh here is an El a meme that people
think Elon is going to send uh to
everybody in government you can see
right here em at doe.gov that's Elon
Musk at doe.gov obviously you know fake
graphic here
to everyone at government basically what
did you get done this week H kind of a
way of saying yeah you remember when uh
we asked that question at X and we fired
four out of five people that worked at X
and we still kept the lights on in the
platform running kind of wild uh now
another thing that you've got is Elon
inter interacting with a chart uh I'll
actually just show that on screen here
it is a chart that shows right here
least subsidized degrees for income
driven repayment programs uh and then
most subsidized degrees for income
driven basically uh debt forgiveness and
you can see most of the the degrees that
have the highest percentage of debt
forgiveness here are things like
cosmetology cosmetology oops cosm ology
biology music Fine Arts liberal arts
communication disorder scientists drama
theater Arts stagecraft blah blah blah
and then the least subsidized degrees
were mechanical engineering civil
engineering electrical engineering
chemical engineering computer science
Registered Nursing computer and
information scientists Finance economics
mathematics marketing and this is an
interesting one because you know I I I
didn't fact check exactly where this
chart is from but let's just think about
the concept of it for a moment if it is
true that most of the debt forgiveness
is going to people with these degrees
which I don't dispute that that is
likely it's worth considering that
technically debt forgiveness grants are
Income driven so I wrote here by virtue
of the grants being income driven yes
less productive degrees get more of the
benefit the intention seems to be help
the people who are making the least
amount of money but as with most things
in government what you really do is you
perversely screw up the free market and
now you're incentivizing the
lower productivity degrees so Elon did
interact with that chart as well uh and
he has interacted with fake things
before so it's worth keeping an eye on
that but uh this this makes sense again
it's just an example where let's assume
for a moment it's true and if we assume
it's true then we should look and go why
is it that when government touches stuff
you screw things up well usually it's
because the free market is a much better
allocator of uh of capital way better
anyway uh then uh then we've got the
leader board coming all actions of the
Department of government efficiency will
be posted online for maximum
transparency anytime the public thinks
we are cutting something important or
not cutting something wasteful just let
us know we will also have a leaderboard
for the most insanely dumb spending of
your tax dollars this will be both
extremely tragic and extremely
entertaining yeah yeah probably also
true elon's also been somewhat anti the
CEO of NPR or former CEO of NPR uh I
should say former uh the CEO gave a TED
Talk and this kind of went viral in a
bad way for her so listen to the clip
and then I'll add the context that's
missing might become might have become
hold on I think our reverence for the
truth might become might have become
a bit of a distraction that is
preventing us from finding consensus and
getting important things done I think
our
reverence okay uh so this is basically
suggesting that hey you know with just
that quote that seems like she's bagging
on the truth here and Elon Musk engages
with this should your tax dollars really
be paying for an organization running by
people who think the truth is a
distraction all right so I'm going to
give my opinion on this after after I
give a little bit of context to what
happened here so basically what this
lady says is she suggests that the truth
is getting in the way of consensus or
agreement and she references Wikipedia
and the Wikipedia uh system where
basically Wikipedia's goal is to write
articles and if you're 100% committed to
the truth rather than something that's
probably true like 95% true then in that
case like you might just be standing in
the way of writing any articles so you
may as well just write nothing because
you're not going to get to 100% truth uh
and so this is problematic though and I
don't agree with this and I'm going to
explain why I don't agree with this but
let me give you more detail here her
basic argument is if we can focus on
things we can know right now let's take
that consensus with the closest
approximation of the
truth and then post the article go with
that and move
on she argues that focusing on only the
absolute truth basically stalls us it
gets in the way she acknowledges that
the truth is important but people have
different truths so let's just agree to
disagree and get these Wikipedia
articles written now this has serious
problems one of the serious problems is
that it has is it basically takes an
argument and have you ever been in an
argument and then people are like well
let's just agree to disagree well it
doesn't solve the problem the problem is
still there and if you go with a
consensus-based approach where let's say
you have 20 people editing a Wikipedia
article and 19 are like this is the
truth and then they silence the opinion
of that 20th person who might actually
have the truest
truth if the reader can't see both of
those opinions clearly then what you've
really done is you've censored somebody
who potentially has the real truth and
that's the whole thing that Eli musk has
been trying to avoid with purchasing X
is hey look you don't have to believe
everyone that you read we just want to
give you the opportunity to read
it and that that is what Free Speech
after all is is not that you will
definitely be heard or listened to but
that at least you have the right to say
it and see when I ran for governor I
noticed that there were Pro Newsome
Wikipedia editors that were able to take
control of my Wiki page and they
basically created this Cult of what they
thought was the truth and I'm like wait
wait a minute you're writing this about
me I know what the truth is and your
Cult of
Truth at least you know what you are
curating to others as sort of the
moderator of the truth is
wrong and then they like this is wrong
and they're like no it's not like I am
me it's it's quite bizarre so this is
where Elon Musk is like yeah you know
maybe those are things we just shouldn't
be funding now of course on the flip
side is it possible that Elon might be
thinking hey since we're so good at
sharing the truth let's promote
more X content of course is it possible
that there could even be a promotion by
government on X for more X ads or you
know more government accounts on X of
course I mean this none of this
involvement is really going to hurt Eli
but I actually think they're making some
pretty good comments so far now I know
elon's spending a lot of time right now
sort of trolling on on X but I actually
think it's funny because there are a lot
of things where when I read them I'm
like huh yeah you know why why are we
beginning uh to spend money uh on things
like uh you know um drag shows in Peru
or other ludicrous wastes uh you know AI
toilets or you know you could get into
like sort of Rand Paul he starts talking
about how we're feeding fish cocaine and
and there have been many experiments
with Fish And ovulation and some of them
are science experiments some of them
actually have arguments but then when
you hear it it's like oh my gosh on the
surface this does sound really ludicrous
and so maybe when we spend money there
should at least be an explanation that
goes with it that is very obvious and
easy to understand it's almost like if
you're going to spend the money on
something that seems stupid at least
spend a little bit extra effort
to uh make sure that you explain it to
the people whose money you're
spending uh anyway now you can follow
Doge make sure to follow
Doge this is very interesting so Elon
Musk uh just tweeted while I was filming
this it begins uh and I when I say
tweeted I should be saying posted but
whatever uh working overtime to ensure
your tax dollars will be spent wisely
the first Department of government
efficiency post which already has 36,000
followers boom there it is November 13th
11:36 there it is American flag dollar
sign oh it's actually the second post
they posted their sort of mandate last
night I suppose wow almost 1 million
likes it's pretty incredible uh but
anyway there you go thank you can you
start with the IRS
[Laughter]
preview of day one oh it's melee out out
out that's funny TSA ATF cut the IRS
please no tax on overtime well this
isn't the government this is a a body
that is going to
recommend uh uh you know changes
basically to the um uh president and to
Congress and otherwise I mean they do
have it listed as technically a
government agency but I mean here you go
this is how they say I'm pleased to
announce that Elon in conjunction with
Viv will lead the department of
government efficiency together the two
wonderful Americans uh will pave the way
for my for my Administration to
dismantle government bureaucracy and
essentially cut
waste now this agency will operate
outside the government and will partner
with the White House and Office of
Management budget so if it's outside the
government I have to say I'm a little
confused why it has the gray uh verified
uh government or multilateral oh did
they just redefine
this that's really interesting because
it used to be that gray was only for
political accounts but now apparently
the gray check mark indicates it could
be government or
multilateral organization or a
government and multilateral organization
combined interesting main agencies
Public Safety may include heads of state
uh may include Regional level county
level institutional
accounts blah blah blah blah blah State
Governors military leaders otherwise so
technically it's outside the government
but it's inside the It's Kind it's like
the Federal Reserve it's it's uh it's
Federal but it's not
federal what a mess okay whatever I will
say entertainment is going to be vastly
guaranteed here another one by the way
is Donald Trump is now targeting
endowments and he's threatening to
basically fire a bunch of people who
accredit colleges with what he calls
wasteful spending now if you listen
closely one of the crazy things that I
haven't even thought of before but it's
probably a good idea is Donald Trump
actually starts talking about this
potential for a college exit exam he's
like if we do if we have college
entrance exams why don't we have exit
exams to actually see if people are Lear
earning anything and if they should
actually be spending this money listen
to Trump course colleges and
universities have been exploding and I
mean absolutely exploding while
academics have been obsessed with
indoctrinating America's youth the time
has come to reclaim our once great
educational institutions from the
radical left and we will do that our
secret weapon will be the college
accreditation system it's called
accreditation for a reason
the accreditors are supposed to ensure
that schools are not ripping off
students and taxpayers but they have
failed totally when I return to the
White House I will fire the radical left
accreditors that have allowed our
colleges to become dominated by marxists
maniacs and lunatics we will then accept
applications for new accreditors who
will impose real standards on colleges
once again and once and for all these
standards will include defending the
American tradition and Western
Civilization protecting Free Speech
eliminating wasteful administrative
positions that drive up costs incredibly
removing all Marxist diversity equity
and inclusion bureaucrats offering
options for Accelerated and lowcost
degrees providing meaningful job
placement and career services and
implementing college entrance and exit
exams to prove that students are
actually learning and getting their
money's worth furthermore I will direct
the Department of Justice to pursue
federal civil rights cases against
schools that continue to engage in
racial discrimination and schools that
persist in explicit unlawful
discrimination under the guise of equity
will not only have their endowments
taxed but through budget reconciliation
I will advance a measure to have them
find up to the entire higher amount of
their endowment a portion of the seiz
funds will then be used as restitution
for victims of these illegal and unjust
policies policies that hurt our country
so badly colleges have gotten hundreds
of billions of dollars from hardworking
taxpayers and now we are going to get
this anti-American Insanity out of our
institutions once and for all we are
going to have real education in America
thank you
H wow I mean honestly everything he's
saying it sounds good let's see if we
can Implement some of this stuff
because the cuse system's got a little
broken it's very very expensive and
you're right like the ROI you know it
has to be there for folks Trump so
you're right about that uh you don't
want you know younger 18year olds who
have to make this decision to get ripped
off and then they start off their whole
lives saddled with student dad on the
wrong foot it's just it's bad it's sad
it's not good anyway uh Department of
efficiency Department of government
efficiency either governmental or not I
haven't figured it out yet anyway uh
there's an update for you uh on some of
the latest that VI and uh Elon musos are
thinking about government
efficiency woohoo oh uh quick note also
uh Viv was sort of thinking that what's
an easy way to fire people at the
government even a odd social security
number if your social ends in an odd
number and odd is what we picked out of
the Hat you're
fired crazy huh
but W with the government collapse
probably not would GDP collapse probably
at least initially unless the money is
reallocated to something else it's crazy
uh anyway make sure you get my Alpha
