This was followed up a few hours later with the following email:

"It has come to our attention that an email intended solely for trusted allies of DOGEzone, and containing a great deal of proprietary and fully embargoed information, has been accidentally released to a list including yourself.

If you or someone you know received an email related to DOGE within the past hours, you MUST delete it immediately.

Anyone who retains the aforementioned email, or shares any of the information contained within it, will be the subject of our legal pursuit to the fullest extent thus far allowable, or likely to be allowable in the near future, by the established and future laws of the United States of America."

“Or likely to be allowable in the near future”.

Legal threats for memes? That’s a new low!

Top secret: for incel eyes only. Just toss on a MAGA hat and play dumb.

Authoritarian-veiled threat. Saturday protests matter.

I'm not a lawyer but you cant change the law after the fact and then prosecute someone. Literally the basis of law.

I don’t think they really care about that

I think you're confused. That was the old administration. The current administration subscribes to the "what are you gonna do, stop me?" philosophy.

Due notice needs to be given. They can’t criminalize something that wasn’t previously illegal and punish people out of no where.

I mean, they can, but they can’t do it without violating the constitutional order. Then again, we’ve been there for a while now….

'Putting the very most confident and intelligent people in charge'

says the people who can't even cc the right people on an email to their cult members.

I am convinced Elon is the dumbest techbro, and that's saying something.

It's a real shame that these people can't tell the difference between the Dunning-Kruger Effect and actual intelligence and competence.

🤣😂 word choice

Seems like they're giving "confident" a trophy that "competent" actually deserves.

Can you share the links?

https://dogezone.org/

Edit to add that people are saying it’s a satire site. However I have no idea. The same was said about Dark Gothic MAGA video on YouTube, then Elon pops up on stage in the hat claiming that’s what he is…and we’ve watched how successful they’ve implemented their plan so far. Mainly I see their success by following what fed workers are saying in their sub about the destruction.

So everyone decide. It could be a shit poster. But the scary thing is much of this has already unfolded. If you check the links under the dark gothic maga video and go down the rabbit hole of the people behind this, then listen to Trump talk out loud about “freedom cities” (they called them network states in this plan), it makes this seem like they are successfully doing this. They are also into the sci-fi, meme, drug fueled bullshit as we can easily view by watching Elon.

I did want to add this edit tho because I truly do not have the knowledge to get to the bottom of who owns this site. OP and others say they got the emails. I did not, I found this site from the screenshots they shared and followed it from there.

That’s right: every company is a monarchy, with a strict top-down hierarchy, and lower tiers very obedient to the upper tiers, all the way up to the top: all the way up to the CEO — the monarch!

Straight from Curtis yarvin. It’s surreal this is real

Jesus fuck. What the hell that makes me sick to read. They want a king. Advocating for cave man archaic bullshit like monarchy out in the open. Fuck your “memes” and fuck this Bronze Age tribalism

Actually, this meme on the site is literally Curtis yarvin lol increasingly suspiciously satire

Comment Image

I wonder if it is satire as well. Halfway through the FAQ they readily admit that all answers are written by Grok, and then they throw out shit like this:

Pain is part of the process. Collapse means pain. We have warned of "temporary hardship." We're seeing that now! Ordinary people and their immediate offspring will feel the sting of these "hardships." Some will die — perhaps many. But a major transformation of society requires a few broken eggs — even if they’re a little expensive these days.

Channeling Lord Farquaad.

But even if it is satire, it has to be taken seriously. Because this is a pretty good summation of what Yarvinites believe and want to do.

Unfortunately yes. If you scroll comments in this thread other people post the full email from Helldog@dogezone.

Rabbit hole leads to this site.

Also, it matches what people have already known about dark gothic maga (check YouTube video which was posted before election and is now more relevant than ever.

Edit: people are saying it’s a satire site registered in Sweden. I’m unsure how op and other commenters originally got it.

Any other timeline this would immediately be investigated for treason. These people worship Yarvin. It’s like they consider him the prophet. It’s like we’ve seen similar movements before. Only problem is the ones now are sitting at the top of the food chain, surrounded in cash, our data, and power. It seems they truly do have most of the cards, but we have one left: our wallets. This empire crumbles when we don’t spend. But that requires a collective we. We’ll see if it gets to that point.

I'm having trouble believing this is real

They’re supposed to be the department of government efficiency yet I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more inefficient department anywhere, ever.

The plan is to put the "a few of the very most confident, intelligent people in charge."

Yes, they wrote "very most" in the context of a sentence ostensibly about intelligence.

God damnit. We’re fucked.

they’ve got the very most smartest people working on this!

More replies

From their FAQ:

  • Why are you so interested in slashing spending and cutting costs?

We're not.

As it says at the top of our website: The people voted for major REFORM. But REAL reform is NOT about cutting some fraud.

Real reform is destroying what's broken and replacing it with a better, fail-proof system.

What's broken is democracy. And destroying it is the only way to improve things.

Edited

If you asked me that 6 months ago I would say they have already proven themselves to be insane, so anything is possible.

But, I would not have dreamed up that it would ever go to these extremes.

There’s a YouTube video titled Dark gothic maga that I watched before it went viral. They have gotten wayyy too far in their plan so far. People have been disappeared already. So, tragically, we know it’s real. They’ve convinced themselves they’re smarter than everyone else. They’re dragging us all with them. We are dicked…

Edit: people are saying this doge site is satire and registered anonymously in Sweden. I’m still concerned about how much of the plan has been implemented.

This looks like very well executed satire to me. It goes beyond satire in that I think it's meant to look not just legitimate, but just credible enough to trick some of the right into spreading it. That said, I'm certain that this isn't a real DOGE-affiliated site, and I think it's strange that nobody else is pointing this out. This is too tongue-and-cheek regarding stepping away from democracy, and I say that well aware that this administration is brazenly stepping away from democracy.

This page demonstrates that pretty clearly. The Trump admin is still keeping up the facade of "saving" our democracy, even if it's a thin veneer. The only alternative explanation I'd put any stock into is this being the work of a very fanatical, tone-deaf Dark Enlightenment acolyte, but I think that's unlikely. I think this is meant as a kind of not-evil dog whistle - our side should be more likely to recognize this for a work criticizing DOGE and Trump's authoritarian ambitions, but some of the openly anti-democratic MAGA crowd may use this and spread it genuinely, thereby revealing their true colors.

We should be cautious of the sources we come across. I think this website is a really cool idea, but let's stay focused on what the administration is doing and not mistake an ally's work of art for anything more than what it is.

Edit: It does look like a good few people also came to this conclusion, even without the website added in. Glad to see others had a tough time figuring it out at first too.

It can be impossible to tell extremism from satire. This is one of those times, but absent a cited reliable source it seems to be more likely satire

I kind of hate how long it took me to decide that this was satire.

The fact that the dogezone website was created on April 1st and looks like it was built in the late 90s finally pushed me over the edge to "ok, this is fake."

I WAS going to say that no self-respecting tech oligarch would build something so hideous, but then I thought "cybertruck" and was back to square one.

"Malignant critiques of actual numbers" screams satire. There is no way they are that self aware.

I’m sure this isn’t real… isn’t it? But just in case it is, I’m going to permit myself a moment of joy thinking about how the fact that they’re supposed to be “cutting costs” can be undercut by the “malignant left,” because the “numbers” prove that they are in fact not cutting costs at all.

Ruining lives? Yes. Letting children in Africa starve to death and die? Yes. Letting HIV run rampant, and stopping the teams that fight Tb and Ebola? Yes. Saving money, no.

Whether this article is satire or not, that statement is still true.

I did a shallow dive on the website's DNS info

It was registered through an anonymous service provided by a co founder of the pirate bay

The registrar is Tucows, a company registered in Pennsylvania and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario

To be clear, Tucows is not at all involved with this website, they are a domain name registrar service

The registrar has abuse email and telephone complaint lines, in case anyone cares

The website looks like it was created anonymously

If they get people to think it's satire, that will mean less resistance to what they are doing. Consider that Musk and Trump are both experts at manipulating others (in order to disguise their actual incompetencies). By creating the illusion that a supposed "leak" about the sinister work they are doing is merely a satirical website, it allows them to divert attention while they continue doing it. Typical false-flag play to create confusion.

By posing as satire, they divert attention from reality of what they are doing. Keep in mind, Trump and Musk (and IMO, Thiel) are skilled manipulators.

Why does all of this read like it was written by a space alien?

Because they want you to dismiss it as "satire". It's a manipulative diversional tactic. They want everyone to ignore what's going on, so if they create mechanisms to induce people to disregard it, it allows them to continue uninterrupted. By seemingly "satirizing" what they are doing, it allows them to hide in plain sight while they continue to do it.
