Pump and dump “hamster” from Elon Musk
On the night of November 15, Musk responded to a post by US Senator Rand Paul. The latter published a meme referring to annual report on federal spending. In it, the politician revealed that the US federal government spent $3 million on grants to “watch hamster fights on steroids.”
According to Paul, authorities have long been interested in injecting animals with various substances and observing their behavior.
In a tweet, the senator hinted that this issue could be addressed by the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). One of the goals of this government agency is to reduce unnecessary government spending.
The proposal to create DOGE was made by Donald Trump, who was re-elected as President of the United States in November of this year. Musk agreed to take a leadership position in the department.
