Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has plans to stage a “#hackathon” next week in Washington, DC.
The goal is to create a single “mega API”
—a bridge that lets software systems talk to one another
—for accessing IRS data, sources tell WIRED.
The agency is expected to partner with a third-party vendor to manage certain aspects of the data project.
#Palantir, a software company cofounded by billionaire and #Musk associate Peter #Thiel, has been brought up consistently by DOGE representatives as a possible candidate, sources tell WIRED.

"Many Americans are watching their retirement savings melt away because of President Trump’s disastrous trade policies. In normal downturns, they could at least reassure themselves that Social Security would always be there. The program was created during the Great Depression precisely because it was clear that the market would not provide for retirees."
~ Pamela Herd and Don Moynihan

Wie viele Leute nun in der #USA gegen #Musk und #Trump bei #handsoff demonstriert haben ist scheinbar "STENG GEHEIM !"
Schein nicht nur bei der #TAZ, sondern bei allen Medien bis hin zur #Tagesschau "Verschlussache" zu sein:
Die Taz so:
"Die Organisatoren der Kundgebung am Samstag in der US-Hauptstadt hatten 20.000 Demonstranten erwartet, am Nachmittag meldeten sie aber bereits eine deutlich höhere Teilnehmerzahl."
Tagesschau so:
"Tausende"

Alas, for this iteration of #fascism, #Longtermism, part of the #TESCREAL group 1), it does make twisted sense: "loosers' lives are not worth keeping.
"Feeding the poor," or "vaccinating the masses" cost huge amounts of money that are then not available for tax cuts for the filthy rich and the central "colonize #Mars" goals...

The agency began Friday by announcing it would eliminate its Office of Civil Rights and Compliance, firing roughly 130 employees from a division responsible for protecting taxpayers from discrimination in the tax code, audits and investigations"

C'est pas encore confirmé mais Politico en parle aujourd'hui :
"Elon Musk devrait quitter ses fonctions auprès du président américain dans les prochaines semaines. Donald Trump l’a fait savoir à sa garde rapprochée, dont plusieurs membres de son cabinet. Bien que le chef de l’Etat continue d’apprécier son travail, le multimilliardaire, à la tête du “département de l’efficacité gouvernementale”, est de plus en plus vu comme un allié encombrant par l’administration américaine et les deux hommes ont convenu que l’homme d’affaires devait retourner à ses affaires."

Analysis: "Musk has a simple diagnosis of what’s ailing America: It’s being destroyed by empathy."
"Musk has argued that empathy is a suicidal trait that is a driving force behind civilizational extinction".
The west should get tough: "bar its doors to immigrants of a certain type & endure temporary hardship so... the woke mind virus will die.”

Psychopathy is marked by lack of empathy &, hence, conscience.

“The DOGE Axe Comes for Libraries and Museums
The Trump admin, with #Musk’s so-called Dept of Govt Efficiency, has gutted a small federal agency that provides funding to libraries and museums nationwide.
This threatens student field trips, classes for seniors, and access to digital library services.”
| WIRED wired.com/story/institute-muse…
" #Trump has told his inner circle, including members of his Cabinet, that #Musk will soon be stepping back from his 👉🏼current role👈🏼... remains pleased with Musk & DOGE..." but 👋🏼
"It also represents a stark shift in Trump-Musk rel'ship from a month ago, when WH officials, allies were predicting Musk was “here to stay” & Trump would find a way to blow past the 130-day time limit"
EXACTLY what a #SOCIOPATH would say:
#ElonMusk has a…diagnosis of what’s *ailing* #America: It’s being destroyed by #empathy. In a long interview w/Joe Rogan, in numerous tweets…, #Musk has argued that “empathy” is a “suicidal” trait that is a driving force behind civilizational extinction. It is time, he believes, for “the West”…to bar its doors to #immigrants of a *certain type* & endure “temporary hardship” so govt can be transformed & “the woke mind virus will die.”

Loser says what?
#ElonMusk is so full of crap, he claims that the #Wisconsin #VoterID requirement on the ballot “was the most important thing.”
It literally was already required of Wisconsin voters, the amendment merely codified it.
They are incapable of admitting when they lose.

... importantly, there is, in my view, no discrepancy on a strategic (intent) level:
a) #Musk's primary goal is, as you know, to transform #humanity into a #MultiplanetarySpecies. Colonizing the closest possible habitable planet (#Mars, #Terraforming) is indispensable for this lifty aim. That will cost the global economy billions of dollars for many years, that will then be missing for feeding the poor...
