What's Up Doge?

by Gail Alfar @gailalfaratx

Imagine a bureaucracy so bloated it’s like a fleet of gas-guzzling dinosaurs—stuck in the mud, burning your tax dollars just to spin their wheels. Then comes the Cybertruck: silent, unstoppable, bulletproof exoskeleton gleaming under the sun. It doesn’t tow the swamp creatures out of the muck—it plows through them, dragging the entire corrupt convoy into the light.

Last week, DOGE didn’t just nudge the beast—it unleashed the Cybertruck of government reform, powered by Grok AI. Building on the prior blitz: 67 federal contracts terminated, $1.4 billion in ceiling value erased, and $648 million saved—real money, real fast, real results.

Per doge.gov: Grok scanned ledgers like a thermal scope on a midnight hunt. The kill list? Precision strikes:

• $54K State Dept “leader as a coach course”—canceled faster than a software update.
• $456K USAGM “24/7 FM broadcast service” in Juba, South Sudan—virtual nonsense, now vapor.
• $1.3M State Dept “Botswana MI curriculum” education program—feelings don’t balance budgets.

Over 40% of cuts? Redundant consultancies—the same 8(a) shell games from last week. Grok’s pattern-matching didn’t miss. Cumulative savings now $205 billion+ (projected $214 billion by year-end)—that’s $1,280 back in every taxpayer’s pocket. Grokipedia chimes in: “DOGE’s AI-fueled ledger sync has accelerated fraud detection by 300%, turning reactive audits into predictive purges.”

SNAP Purge: The Cybertruck Rolls On

Secretary Brooke Rollins didn’t flinch. DOGE’s task force hit holdout states—700K ineligibles purged since February, including 5K dead recipients and 500K duplicates (same name twice). From 29 compliant states: $10-15B annual savings projected, with 118 arrests for fraud.

One gem: Operations like “May Magnitude” busted EBT skimmers tied to transnational rings—10 arrests, 20 devices seized in California alone. Funds? Rerouted to legit families.

Rollins: “Fraud isn’t ‘access’—it’s theft. DOGE is the bloodhound we needed.” With 21 states under subpoena threat, expect billions more by December. It’s not just savings; it’s justice.

The Future? Blockchain + Cybertruck Energy

Insiders say: Blockchain procurement pilots incoming (Q1 2026 whispers)—immutable, transparent, fraud-proof. Grok will verify every dollar. Admin costs? Down 20% via HR consolidation (111 systems axed).

Next targets:

• 4.6M federal credit cards (more cards than employees!).
• Underground retirement files delaying veteran payouts.

Musk (Mar 2025, on the ongoing card purge): “There are still almost twice as many credit/purchasing cards as people in the government, and the limits are $10,000! A lot of shady expenditures happening.”

Tip line exploded—thousands of leads fueling hunts. Got waste? → https://doge.gov/tips

This week: Momentum from 67 contracts. $648M saved. Zero apologies.

The swamp isn’t draining—it’s being bulldozed by a Cybertruck with AI night vision.

I track the revolution so you don’t have to. Stay electric. Stay savage. Stay saving.
