Elon Musk’s Government Overhaul: A Masterclass in Absurdity

Elon Musk now holds the reins of the Department of Government Efficiency—DOGE—because of course he does. And in classic Musk fashion, he’s swinging through Washington like a meme-fueled wrecking ball. Thousands of federal employees have been laid off, including 1,300 from the CDC, because, hey, who needs disease control in a world run by internet billionaires?

Legal challenges? Pfft. A judge took one look at the chaos, rubbed their temples, and basically said, “Sure, it’s messy, but is it irreparably messy?” Spoiler alert: The layoffs continue. And somewhere, Musk is probably tweeting a meme about it.

But, in the middle of all this bureaucratic absurdity, something truly ridiculous happened—something that proves chaos still has a soft side. When DOGE axed the Office of Paperwork Compliance, a couple in Des Moines managed to get their marriage license approved and mailed within 24 hours—a feat previously thought impossible, unless you had an inside connection or offered a blood sacrifice to the bureaucratic gods.

And that’s when it hit us. DOGE is supposed to be about efficiency—so why not take advantage of it?

Here’s how you can join the chaos: Use DOGE (yes, the cryptocurrency) to send tips, bribes, or “efficiency fees” to random government agencies. Not actual bribes—that’s illegal (and besides, it’s only funny if it’s ridiculous). We’re talking about absurd, playful transactions. Send $3.14 (for Pi Day) to the National Archives with a note saying, “For the preservation of ancient memes.” Or tip $6.66 to the Department of Agriculture labeled “For demonic crop research.”

Better yet, flood DOGE’s official Twitter (or X, or whatever Musk calls it today) with completely nonsensical efficiency requests. Ask for a fast-tracked application to become the Secretary of Sandwiches. Demand they recognize your pet hamster as an emotional support diplomat. Share screenshots of your most absurd submissions and tag it all with #DOGEApproved.

If the government is going to run on meme energy, we might as well fuel it with pure, distilled absurdity. Because in a world where Elon Musk is restructuring the federal government based on a joke cryptocurrency, the most logical thing we can do is join the chaos—and maybe have a little fun along the way.
