Elon Musk's DOGE is now running America's national parks

Late last week, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency essentially took over the Interior Department, which includes the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs and more. The Interior Department is supposed to oversee 400 national parks and historic sites, uphold treaty rights with over 500 recognized Native American tribes, manage more than 500 million acres of land and conserve the country’s fish and wildlife. 

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum signed away significant control of the Interior Department in a secretarial order Thursday night. The order gives a DOGE operative, Tyler Hassen, the power to oversee the Interior Department for “consolidation, unification and optimization of administrative functions.” 

The Selling of America! Now get who is taking over all the federal lands?

It directs Hassen, DOGE’s assistant secretary of policy, management and budget, to make funding decisions, fire employees, create policy, oversee programs and transfer funds. Hassen is a former oil executive who worked for Basin Energy, an oil field equipment company, before joining the Trump administration.

This is so scary... it is going to be "Drill baby drill" and who can make the most money off of our lands! Can you say "Conflict of Interest."

Oh... and I do not trust Musk at all! That was just a segue into the article.
