ing out DOGE for huge success maybe even before it happens. That would be normal business to kind of overclaim that the first day is doing great. So it's very normal. There's nothing creepy or dishonest about it because it's just a universal trait. So I'm okay with that.

One of the things that Chamath points out is that the DOGE teams each have an engineer on them. Now that's good thinking because imagine being a team and it's your job to go into some part of the government you've never had any access to and you have to figure out how it's all connected to everything else. You're going to have to bring an engineer just to figure out if everything's connected. And then secondly you want the engineer to say wait a minute that's what they do? This is all they do? I could do that with a software program I can write in 10 minutes. Now I'm exaggerating of course but you need an engineer to say I can get rid of this whole thing. You know I'll just put in this AI or we'll skip it or whatever. So yeah, engineer, you've got to have an engineer on every team. And the fact that Elon knows that and he's working on that model, so good. Oh that is so good. Yeah just the design of the system is impressive. There's an engineer on every team. Now I love engineers and I think they're the least or the most underappreciated job in the world because they're the ones that changed the world most fundamentally. Let's see if they can do it on the government.

I guess a thousand EPA employees are going to go on probationary status and might be fired immediately. CNN's reporting. Here's the interesting one. So apparently the highest ranking person in the Treasury, David Lebryk, he resigned rather than comply with DOGE for access to audit where they spent trillions of dollars a year. Trillions of dollars go through the system and as soon as DOGE said can we see what's in there, see where the money went, the person in charge quit. Now I don't know how that could be more damning. The only thing that would be more damning is if they've already left the country to a country with no extradition.

But let me tell you a universal truth. One of the things we learned in this story allegedly is that there was never any audit to money requests that went through the Treasury. They simply said yes to everything. Now I hope that's not literally true but it's being reported that they didn't even have the function to check. There was nobody whose job it was to even check. They just said yes. And some of that would include maybe some requests that you wouldn't want them to pay including payments to quote fraudulent or terrorist groups. So even if he knew the request was fraudulent or going to a group that made other fraudulent requests I guess their operating rule was they would still release the money even to a terrorist, even to a known fraudulent request because it wasn't their job to check on the sources. I guess they were just writing the checks anyway. But apparently they've never denied any payment at any time.

Now if I told you that there was one guy in charge of the system that would handle trillions of dollars in payments and he quit when they asked if they could audit it, what would you think about that? Because what I think is if you put anybody in charge of trillions of dollars and then you don't watch where it's going isn't that a guarantee of corruption? Like you could design that system a thousand times and implement it in a thousand different countries and then j
