Why Musk-Ramaswamy’s DOGE sounds like a Yes Minister spoof

In Yes Minister, bureaucracy isn’t just a system; it’s a labyrinth engineered to perpetuate itself. The civil servants, led by Sir Humphrey Appleby, expertly stonewall any attempt at change, wielding obscure regulations and jargon as weapons. Similarly, DOGE, spearheaded by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, is set to streamline government. Yet, like Hacker’s ministry, DOGE faces a government machine skilled in red tape and averse to rapid change. DOGE’s task—applying startup efficiency to a complex bureaucracy—is an audacious “Manhattan Project” in its own right.
