I’m not exaggerating when I say this could collapse the government within a year.

🚨🚨 Musk and Ramaswamy just dropped their first "DOGE" roadmap, and it’s a disaster waiting to happen.

Here’s how they plan to dismantle the federal government step by step:

1️⃣ Plant DOGE loyalists in every U.S. agency, then use "advanced technology" (probably AI) to identify "thousands" of regulations to slash across the board.

2️⃣ Hand Trump this hit list of regulations and let him rubber-stamp their elimination. No checks, no balances—just chaos.

3️⃣ Gut federal agencies by finding "the minimum number of employees" needed to function after gutting regulations.

Think Musk’s 80% staff cuts at X but scaled up to the entire government.

4️⃣ Lay off federal workers en masse with vague promises of "severance packages" and "early retirement incentives" that have no actual details.

5️⃣ Axe programs Congress hasn’t reauthorized, like VA health care, NASA, and anti-poverty initiatives—critical services millions rely on.

6️⃣ Pause federal payments for "large-scale audits," with zero clarity on what that even means.

Translation: destabilize everything from Social Security to defense spending.

7️⃣ Invoke presidential authority to block spending without Congressional approval, openly defying the 1974 budget law on impoundments.

This entire scheme bypasses Congress and counts on fighting challenges in court.

It’s not governance; it’s a hostile takeover.

This isn’t about efficiency or reform—it’s about destroying the federal government as we know it.

And if this goes through? We’re talking about a full-blown constitutional crisis.
