DOGE
DOGE means the Department Of Government Efficiency. It is an advisory group to President Trump, promoted by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to eliminate the parts of government that deport American jobs. However, both men came out in support of importing more immigrants to do the jobs that Americans can’t do. Why can’t Americans do these jobs?
According to USA Today, from November 12, 2024,[1]
“President-elect Donald Trump has tapped tech billionaire Elon Musk, the world's wealthiest person, and former Republican presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency that will work to slash federal government spending, waste and regulations.
Trump said the commission will ‘provide advice and guidance from outside of government,’ partnering with the White House and Office of Management and Budget ‘to drive large-scale structural reform’ throughout the federal government. He said the team's work will conclude no later than July 4, 2026.”
However, yesterday, Elon and Vivek both tweeted that Americans need immigrants to do the jobs that Americans can’t.
The twitter war started when Laura Loomer tweeted that one of Trump’s appointees is a foreigner who wanted to increase immigration to the USA from his country because he is loyal to a foreign country. Sriram Krishnan is from India, got US citizenship, and lives in London.
Elon has several tweets about this, but he basically said that we need to import more foreigners to do the jobs for which Americans are not qualified.
Vivek really stepped in it by saying that Americans couldn’t do these jobs because of our culture, and then used his life experience of being better at school than his white peers as an example.
In addition, Elon and Vivek are saying this at a time when illegal immigrants are flooding the country as the job market collapses. Immigrants are taking most of the bad paying jobs, so now they should get the good paying jobs too? White Americans don’t benefit from DEI and becoming a minority in their own country.
Elon is an immigrant and Vivek is a child of immigrants. Of course they would focus on the difficulties that they and their family faced with our byzantine immigration system. It should be fixed.
However, the problem for Americans isn’t that tech jobs can’t be filled because Americans are too lazy or stupid. The problem is that Americans are legally restricted from doing those jobs. Legal immigrants replacing illegal Americans because of taxes and regulations is not “winning.” H1B visas don’t get Americans jobs.
We need free markets so that we don’t need to be replaced by foreigners. Apprenticeships can replace licensing & unnecessarily attending DEI universities that discriminate against white men. People can learn on the job. Not everyone excels in Manchu style examinations.

Update December 27: Elon Musk got the message and promised to fight to make America a free country, noting that from 2021 to 2024, only 6% of the new jobs added by S&P 100 companies in the U.S. went to white males.
