What happens when a billionaire tech mogul and a former president join forces to tackle their government’s perceived inefficiency? A lot of chaos, controversy, and headlines! DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency is a temporary organization with Elon Musk at its forefront, under Donald Trump’s administration.
Now we all know that Joe Rogan is not one to shy away from bold commentary, and he has also weighed in his opinion about the initiative. So let’s look at what the well-known podcaster has to say this time about government matters!
What is DOGE: Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s vision
DOGE is one of the most ambitious federal reform efforts in the USA and was created by an executive order from President Donald Trump. The mission of this group is to cut out wasteful spending and streamline government operations (via Business Insider).
DOGE is being spearheaded by Elon Musk and has targeted agencies like USAID and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. In one episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, the host expressed his support for DOGE, and hailed Elon Musk as a “super genius.”
Rogan’s comments highlighted the frustration that many of us feel due to bureaucratic inefficiency. But Musk’s approach to DOGE is as unconventional as the man himself and has drawn significant criticism, with lawsuits and public backlash that are now questioning the ethics and legality of DOGE’s actions.
Joe Rogan’s opinion about DOGE
Joe Rogan seems to be fully on board with DOGE, but it would be false to claim that his opinion is unbiased. He’s previously had Elon Musk and Donald Trump on his podcast and is fond of both the influential figures. A clip from his show, features Rogan, further talking about how DOGE is efficient.
We’re seeing right now with this whole USAID thing they’re uncovering massive amounts of corruption and waste, and just a lot of weird and shady sh*t with NGOs, and an enormous amount of money is going.
You’re seeing someone look at this thing, that is incredibly efficient, almost by design, instead of saying, well this is just how it is, a president who’s coming in who can’t be re-elected, so he’s just going ham and he’s just cleaning out everything.
Furthermore, he has previously claimed that Musk won’t be stealing from the government or the population because “he has $400 billion.” Rogan also called him the “smartest person alive” and truly believes in the joint effort made by Musk and Trump.
