It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The doge meme is laughable but what's more ridiculous is he thinks he can make an organization more efficient. No, working your engineers with unpaid overtime so much that it's routinely expected they'll quit in 6 months and land a better job is not efficient. Being forced to buy an overpriced, unprofitable website for $44 billion when your pump and dump scheme failed is not efficient. Losing all your market share on electric vehicles because you farmed out tax credits to your competitors without scaling up production in your 10 year head start is not efficient. I almost hope that he does get his pet Department made so he can fail even more publicly than he already has.

he thinks he can make an organization more efficient

He turned Twitter from a 44 billion purchase to a 10 billion and dropping liability and his narcissism compels him to go bigger than that.
