Musk's Dept. of Government Efficiency Cuts Position of Vice President

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has eliminated the position of vice president of the United States, Musk announced on Monday.

“The job of the vice president is to fill in for the president if he falls ill,” Musk said. “This seemed unnecessary since I’m in superb health.”

Musk added that he was inspired to cut the VP position “because JD Vance hasn’t been seen in weeks and no one’s missed him.”

According to sources within DOGE, Vance will immediately be reassigned as a used Tesla salesman.

This sounds AWFULLY familiar...

"We're eliminating the Executive Office of the President on January 21, 2025," said DOGE co-head Musk. "Under the last Trump Administration this agency was responsible for more reckless spending and less work than any other agency in the entire United States Government. The only way we can make America great again is by closing it and firing all the workers including the fat fuck at the head of it."

"not worth a bucket of warm piss."

So lets take the position out of the Constitution and replace it with the requirement that an emergency election for vp be held, only in event the president shows signs of croaking.

Look at the money that could save.
