Is there a specific thing DOGE did or said they'd do which has those effects or are you just making it up?


DOGE has destroyed several agencies that were investigating his companies including FAA (starlink), FDA(neurolink), NHTSA(tesla). I'm sure there are many more, but these instantly come to mind.


What do you mean destroyed? As far as I know they still exist?


Cut a lot of the funding and staff. In other words, we've exceeded regulatory capture and now the regulators (who are already captured) are being managed by DOGE. Regulatory capture now regulated by DOGE. It's unbelievable.


Existing is irrelevant. NATO still exists too.
