Elon Musk’s dog announces the closing of the Social Security Bureau in Michigan

Elon Musk’s dog announces the closing of the Social Security Bureau in Michigan

The Government Efficiency Department (Doge) says he closes a social security office in Michigan, as part of the federal government. The agency – led by Elon Musk – posted this week The Cut on the Dogs site.

However, the details about the place where the office is located and what kind of services are not listed. Close can be found in The section “Savings” from the Doge Site.

The closure is for a 4,276 square meter office in Okemos. A facility address is not listed, and the website of the Social Security Administration does not list an office in Okemos.

Doge claims that the closure will save $ 108,966 per year or $ 544,830 during a five -year rental contract if it was continued.

The calls made by MLIVE to the Social Security Administration were addressed to the Administration of General Services. Calls made to that agency requesting more information about closing has not been returned. A section on the GSA site says that the agency “Manages 144 Federal Buildings and 865 rentals” in the region of large lakes.

Doge also announced the closing of SSA offices in places like New York, Ohio and Wisconsin, among others.

The closes come as part of the “Dogende Agenda” of President Donald Trump. Trump set up Doge by the executive order last month, the order stating that the agency will modernize “Federal technology and software to maximize the efficiency and government productivity.”

To date, Doge claims that he has saved the government $ 65 billion, as he continues to reduce the budgets of government agencies, to eliminate departments, to freeze employees and more.

The “economies” were interrogated by critics who quoted an annulled contract listed by Doge for $ 8 billion, actually only $ 8 million. Others stressed that the total value of some of the contracts have already been completely obliged. This means that the Government is obliged to spend the funds for the goods or services it has purchased and it may have already completed these purchases.
