D.O.G.E. Plans To Cut Government Down To Just One Chat Support Guy

WASHINGTON, D.C. - As the heads of the new Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are in the midst of brainstorming how much and which branches of the federal government they plan to gut when President Trump takes office.  

And according to a series of cryptic posts on X, the two businessmen have seemingly come to the conclusion that they plan to strip the entire government down to one chat support guy.

Originally, the two businessmen planned to cut up to $2 trillion from the federal budget while still keeping some things like the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, and Department of State. 

But after a late night Diablo session with Trump’s children Donald Jr. and Barron, Elon and Vivek came up with the idea to scrap the whole thing in favor of Dinesh Gupta who will be the only federal government employee and be able to answer any question not covered by the private, AI-powered institutions who will take over 99% of the government’s functions. 

When asked about how their new plan would impact some basic things like the role of the President and Vice President, Ramaswamy said, “We’ll obviously still have Donald Trump and J.D. Vance at the helm. But we’ll still be able to pay them using the profits we make from selling the White House. It’s currently listed on Zillow for $300 million dollars.” 

At press time, Musk stated that they planned to make X’s Grok AI image and meme generator as the official means of international communication.
