Welcome do NASDUCK Free Week, Day 2!
You probably heard the trumpets blaring: Elon Musk, the maverick, the tech messiah, was descending on Washington with a mandate. He was going to unleash "Doge" – the Department of Government Efficiency – and carve a cool $2 TRILLION out of federal spending. Sounds like a dream, right? Less waste, more for the taxpayer, or at least a dent in the national debt.
But here’s the thing about dreams, especially those hatched in the D.C. swamp: they often turn into something… else.
So, what really happened when Silicon Valley swagger met the bureaucratic beast? Did Musk’s Doge deliver a fatal bite to government bloat, or did it just end up chasing its own tail before slinking away with a few questionable scraps?
In my latest NASDUCK podcast episode, we’re ripping the lid off this whole spectacle. Forget the rah-rah headlines and the partisan screeching. We’re diving deep into:
The grand promises versus the cold, hard (and often fuzzy) numbers.
How "efficiency" can look a lot like chaos when you fire park rangers, spook the FAA, and nearly touch the nuclear football.
The real-world market impact: Who got rich, whose stock took a beating (hint: Tesla shareholders weren't exactly celebrating), and where the smart money hid.
The surprising lessons this whole debacle offers for any investor trying to navigate a world where big government and even bigger egos collide.
And most importantly – what this tells us about the future, and how to position your portfolio accordingly.
