Perhaps the country's most influential California conservative, Ambassador Rick Grenell, raised the idea for the “Doctor of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) on Sunday, where he wiped out the state government, and Elon Musk agreed. .
The world's wealthiest mask, Mask, has launched some of his companies in California, but has since become worse off with the state's high taxes and burdensome regulations. His doge is currently biting the federal bureaucracy, reducing positions that appear to be unnecessary and reducing workers who refuse to provide valuable services to the public.
It's not clear why Grenell urged him to act, but the California government is notoriously expensive and wasteful, falling into the deficit he almost touched last year after enjoying the surplus during the Covid era.
On Friday, Gov. Gavin Newson (D) wrote to Congress calling for $40 billion in federal spending on damages caused by the recent Los Angeles wildfire. Two weeks ago, he fought President Donald Trump's policies and signed two bills worth $50 million in spending to help illegal foreigners avoid deportation.
Doge caused panic among Democrats. Democrats see it as a threat to the government sector and the Slush Funds, and are used to controlling and funding outside political groups campaigning on the left.
