The elon and trump feud is a smokescreen for the media, to cover up other things. The fallout between the two is a laser, and we’re all cats.
Why is DOGE still around if Donny and Elon aren't getting along?

Trump threatening to take away Musk’s government contracts is pretty serious for a smokescreen. Even the threat of doing this could destroy the companies, even if he never intended to follow through.

It may have destroyed a normal company. But musks empire is so out of normal market rules that the thread is won’t do much harm I would think

You’re forgetting how often Rump says all sorts of things he never follows up on. This is why I keep saying we need a better news media. One that can recognize when something is genuinely news worthy. None of the details of this feud matter. Only maybe a single story about them having a feud would be needed. And if it were TV news it would be the last story. A funny fluff piece that doesn’t actually matter.

Russia still needs to get all the data somehow.

Because cruelty is the point.

Reasons I can think of right off:
- The federal government doesn’t move anywhere near that fast.
- It’s not run by Trump anyway, he’s a sock puppet for the money people who put him in office.
- If they didn’t want DOGE to exist it wouldn’t, so apparently they do.

DOGE is not just a Musk thing. Privatizing government has been a long term goal of the republicans and capitalists for a very long time

So doge is doing that work. Why get rid of it if it does what they want?
