The actual point of DOGE was to just backdoor and/or datadump as many government databases as possible and give them to Palantir. That’s it. That was the entire point. Everything else was simply theatrics.
Also firing all the agencies and agents investigating him.
Don't forget completely fucking government contractors.
The OMB was really behind the firings, and Russell Vought is still there and still in charge.
And he’s a Christo-fascist from childhood.
