Musk, DOGE, and the IRS Login Button That Broke the Bureaucracy

New York, NY — In the latest chapter of “Elon Saves America,” Fox’s Gutfeld! took viewers on a dizzying ride through bloated bureaucracy, flaming waste, and a single misaligned login button that just might represent the tragicomedy of federal government efficiency.

This week, DOGE — that’s Department of Government Efficiency, not the Shiba Inu crypto mascot (though both cause seismic waves on the internet) — exposed what Greg Gutfeld dubbed a “staggering” moment of clarity:

The IRS website login button wasn’t in the top-right corner. Cue the horror. In web design terms, that’s basically DEFCON 1.

While any modern web user would simply scoff and move on, DOGE took action. Upon flagging the issue to the IRS, their answer was straight out of a Kafka novel:

“We’ll fix it by July 21st.” That’s over 100 days to move a button. DOGE, unfazed, fixed it in 7 minutes.

Let’s pause.

This isn’t about a button. This is about a rotting system so caked in red tape that it takes a fiscal quarter to correct something a teenager with a mouse and a brain can do in under ten minutes.

Gutfeld didn’t hold back.

“Imagine how long it takes to fix something that actually requires effort,” he sneered. “The government will subcontract a subcontractor who hires a teenager — at a cost of $60 billion.”

Boom. Roasted.

But it gets worse.

DOGE then unearthed unemployment insurance fraud involving people older than 115, unborn, and literal toddlers.

Apparently, your average three-year-old is just a few tantrums away from collecting disability.

“How many Gerber models go on welfare?” Gutfeld quipped.

Then came the Trumpian crescendo: Elon Musk steps in, promising to root out $150 billion in waste.

When asked how, his response was both brutal and obvious: “Actually go into government.

 That’s how you find it. ”

And find it he did.

At the EPA, $22 billion in grants canceled.

Including one $50 million boondoggle labeled “Climate Justice Alliance,” which, according to DOGE, bizarrely connected environmental goals to “Free Palestine.”

Because naturally, photosynthesis can’t happen under occupation?

Now, you’d think any rational government would welcome such efficiency, perhaps offer Musk a medal — or at least a high-five.

But instead, Democrats are busy trying to fire him.

Literally.

Multiple clips featured party operatives demanding Musk be “fired today,” “cleared out,” or “dragged out of office.”

Never mind he isn’t even technically employed.

Let that sink in: The only guy working for free, who’s saving billions, is the one guy they want gone.

Why? Maybe because, as Gutfeld put it, “He makes them look bad.”

Or because exposing this level of corruption and incompetence might shine a little too much light on their donor kickbacks and self-dealing.

Then, just to keep the absurdity consistent, the monologue ends with commentary on floppy disks, CD-ROMs, and other relics of government tech, reinforcing the theme: our institutions are technologically frozen in 1997.

In sum, what DOGE and Musk have exposed isn’t just waste — it’s a culture of stagnation, a Frankenstein’s monster stitched together from expired grants, broken code, and circular approval processes.

And in classic Gutfeld! fashion, the solution isn’t bureaucratic reform panels or think tank symposiums.

It’s simple: move the damn button.
