Total aside: it’s illegal for any company to provide goods or services for free to the government, so the Pod CEO would be breaking the law sending DOGE employees bed pods. It’s basically seen as a bribe - which is true! These beds are $2000 each but it’s pretty cheap for favorable regulatory treatment after a small donation. :/



He'll say that DOGE is not part of the government but a private endeavor by Elon Musk.

Also: citation needed. A quick Google says it's not illegal as long as the government entity confirms it in writing.


Doge couldn't even secure their "transparency tweets" website when it went up. I get the impression they don't have the organization to confirm anything in writing.
