Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

    If Trump is smart, he’ll let Musk do all the unpopular project 2025 stuff, then throw him in prison at the end and escape the blame personally. This way he gets to keep popularity with his base while telling his donors they got everything they asked for. It’s what all dictators do, really.

      I’d be fine with the Musk in prison part. Launching him into the sun in one of his own rockets would be cooler, though.
