It's an apt analogue for what we should all expect from the DOGE; burning to death while everyone watches in terror.

Holy fuck, I never registered that that was the acronym for it.

Yeah, it was the whole point.

When Trump first said that, I wondered why the hell he's talking about Musk asking for a position title that never existed, and then he tweeted out some BS AI gen of him with the title 'DOGE' on a nameplate in front of him.

He basically is a 13 year old who never grew up.

Musk is edgier than some 13 year olds

It hurts seeing a meme that was fun a decade ago get run into the ground by being used so aggressively and so long and so fucking uncoolly.
