The latest political saga features President Donald Trump’s second term, which is off to a thrilling start as he teams up with Elon Musk and the newly minted Department of Government Efficiency, affectionately abbreviated as DOGE. With an administration keen to slice through the layers of bureaucratic wasteland, ABC News has apparently decided it’s time to ask a burning question: Who’s actually pulling the strings over there at DOGE?
In a classic case of media shenanigans, the headline declares that contradictory statements about Musk leave folks scratching their heads over the leadership of this agency. As it turns out, there’s a lot of legal mumbo jumbo surrounding Musk’s title, which has made the leftist media quiver like toddlers on sugar highs. Joshua Fischer, the Office of Administration Director, steps in to clarify that Musk’s role involves being a “non career special government employee” and not the top dog at DOGE. Apparently, Musk is merely a senior advisor, sharing the same parking lot with other advisors like Anita Dunn, who is no stranger to the White House games.
The online reaction has been a marvelous sight to behold. The article itself has been ratioed into oblivion, receiving a deluge of snarky replies overshadowing the paltry likes it garnered. Social media users have pointed out that when it comes to leadership capability, there’s a far more pressing question lurking in the background: How often has President Joe Biden had a coherent thought during his time in office? With whispers of dementia circling him like vultures, many are left wondering why Americans should even pretend to care about who’s really in charge over at DOGE when the real issue lies in the Oval Office.
And speaking of the Oval Office, a friendly reminder emerges that Biden’s campaign suffered a catastrophic failure, prompting fellow Democrats to yank him out of the race after a particularly dreadful debate against Trump. While their desperation was clear—especially with Jill Biden and Hunter trying to keep the Biden train rolling—it ultimately revealed just who was actually running the show and how poorly the Democratic Party was handling the situation.
Hey @ABC: I'll give you a heads-up, since you apparently don't possess competent researchers. @POTUS @realDonaldTrump is in charge of the government. He answers to the American people only. https://t.co/9DBZUTiFfK

Thus, one cannot help but wonder if the folks at ABC are attempting to paint Trump’s administration as some kind of chaotic enterprise, while the Democratic ranks are busy sinking their ship. Ironically, while ABC News is jumping up and down about Musk’s influence, it seems to have completely forgotten about the Democrats’ attempts to derail both Musk and Trump’s efforts to clean up the vast river of government inefficiency. The absurdity continues as some Democrats air their grievances over Musk’s newfound prominence, calling him everything from a “shadow president” to a hypothetical puppet master, all while they continue to act like lost toddlers on a playground.
As the courtroom drama unfolds with Judge Tanya Chutkan playing referee, ABC News struggles to keep up with the narrative, clearly aiming to instill concern among those watching the DOGE proceedings. Yet Judge Chutkan’s recent decision to not issue a restraining order against the agency shows an inclination that can only be described as failure and embarrassment for the anti-DOGE crowd. It seems that while the Democrats are stuck in an existential crisis, President Trump is sharpening his knives for a government overhaul that could leave the wasteful spending in tatters—all with Elon Musk’s creative insights on board. While the left appears more concerned with their campfire stories about Musk’s authority, rational Americans are eager to see real results aimed at rooting out corruption and inefficiency.
