Chief Trump consultant Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have hit the ground running, shocking Washington’s Inside-the-Beltway bureaucratic infrastructure by following the Silicon Valley approach of “move fast and break things.”
Musk is moving to shut down US-AID. He offered bullying buyout offers to 2.3 million federal employees. He and his team of very-young assistants has been granted access to confidential government data, including those of the Treasury Department payment systems, NOAA, Medicare and Medicaid, and more.
Musk says DOGE is thoughtful and deliberate. But the speed with which he is moving worries critics who think he’s endangering essential government services and might have nefarious designs on Americans’ personal data. What’s next for DOGE?
On today’s “The TMI Show,” Manila Chan and Ted Rall speak with financial expert and political analyst Mitch Roschelle.

“Move fast and break things.” Like a hyperactive 5-year-old going through someone’s place of business?
I hope everyone has stocked up on popcorn. I figure Trump will push Musk off the stage soon enough, but Musk has impressed me. I can’t believe one person could do this much damage this quickly. I think if Musk can hold on for another month, he’ll be able to screw things up so badly that the whole system will crash. Ought to be quite a show. Do you think FOX will blur the guillotine blade on the way down?
