Not sure why people are downvoting this, it's not an endorsement, it's documentation...

Am I missing something?

I think some people use downvotes as "I dislike"... That article is pretty interesting imo, it doesn't deserve downvotes.

Edit: this one is also a good opportunity to observe wikipedia's neutrality, and check whether of not Elon is right about his call to boycott

You messed up your spoiler there and all I see when I open it is "He's", which left me confused for a good few seconds.

Despite its name, DOGE is not a Cabinet-level department, but rather a temporary contracted organization (scheduled to end on July 4, 2026[5])

Oh, for Pete's sake. We're going to have a choreographed Independence Day "all waste has been eliminated" set of theatrics, aren't we?
