An Open Letter To Elon Musk - Move DHS HQ To The Border

Ideas On The Department Of Government Efficiency And Effectiveness

Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead an eighteen-month project to improve Government Efficiency called DOGE.

Trump’s team describes this as a Manhattan Project for government, and I am proposing that Musk build a new cyber city for DHS and other border related agencies not far from where the original Manhattan Project was in the 1940s.

Journalist George Webb at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for X-Scale Computer Launch.

DOGE is so efficient DOGE will only be able to use existing office chairs in the Executive Office Building next to the White House with no budget for conducting their recommendations.

Elon Musk cites that there are 428 government agencies, and he thinks the number should be 99 at the most. No double digits of Government Agencies seem necessary.

DOGE now has a X Twitter handle created by Elon Musk. Tweet this Substack to (at sign) DOGE and watch the sand fly.

I thought the first think Musk could do is move the Department of Homeland Security to Tuscon, Arizona where it is needed a lot more than in Washington, DC.

Employees could be offered voluntary relocation just to start the DHS move to the Border. Thousands would volunteer to be part of the history DOGEing of Washington, DC, moving the Bureaucrats closer to the problem so they can see it with their own eyes.

Also, ICE (Immigration) and CBP (Customs and Border Patrol) could move there. Finally, DEA and ATF drug and firearms enforcement HQs could move there as well. Musk already makes all the components needed for a solar-power CyberTown or CyberCity.

I have a proposal to allocate these government resources most efficiently, prioritizing the issues that came up in the 2024 Election. The first would be to rename DOGE to the Department of Government Export. By that, I mean moving the Agencies out of Washington to where they are most needed. For instance, the Department of Homeland Security should be moved to Tuscon, Arizona, where it is needed most.

I attended an armed self-defense class by ex-Special Forces weapons trainer Jeffrey Prather in Tuscon, Arizona, because citizens there were told local police would no longer answer 9/11 calls because it was too dangerous for local police!

My guess is that if Kristi Noem refused to go to Washington, DC to take her Secretary of DHS office and instead went straight to Tuscon, Arizona, we would get better action on the Border than if she was first signing off on their beautiful Taj Mahal palace that DHS wants to build in the Anacostia neighborhood.

My recommendation is to set up camp at the border in a tent encampment just like the Civil War generals did when they went to battle. If the battle is at the Border, set up camp at the Border.

After you build the new DHS Headquarters in Tuscon, you can use the tents for illegal immigrant families being detained at the Border. Move border-related agencies like ICE and CBP to the border as well.

Elon can even add an underground or above-ground HyperLoop to connect all the Agencies. Autonomous electric vehicles and roadways can be added with CyberTrucks for deliveries and CyberCabs for commuters.

Put all the Government Agencies together in a line and connect them with a linear HyperLoop that illegal immigrants must cross to get into the country.

Yes, you can still maintain a skeleton office in DC for folks who are disabled and a place to brief Congress and other Agencies, but the big idea is to keep expanding the Government Camp linearly along the unprotected Border in both directions. Musk can add his solar panels for power and water can be brought from the ocean for desalination.

This sort of a drastic move happens in private industry all the time. Musk moved his cot to the Tesla factory floor in Fremont, CA, where they manufactured cars in tents in the parking lot when they needed more space to meet production goals. Now, Tesla’s market cap is over $1T—one Trillion, worth more than the next ten car companies combined, so the tent strategy seemed to work.

This is the green energy utopia Washington, DC, wants for us, and this is the chance to let Washington, DC, lead by example. There is a case to be made to move all Government Agencies to tent cities along the Border, and sell off the office space to private developers, but that is a little drastic for right now.

We have already covered this plan for the Neom development in Saudi Arabia in my Five Part series, “The Braverman Prophecy”. The good news is the “E” and the “O” only have to be interchanged to name this after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Strong arguments can be made that all Washington, DC agencies should be moved immediately to the Border in tent facilities based on the

Continuity of Government threats from the Border Crisis on the basis the Border Crisis threatens the continued existence of the US Constitutional Government.

Some bureaucrats would be able to return to their desk jobs when the border crisis is over, but most should stay based on the lower carbon footprint of Green Energy in Arizona and New Mexico. Musk’s PowerWalls (or a competitor) will come in handy at the Border.

If Trump signs an executive order to that effect, housing costs in Washington, DC would also be lowered.

We have declared Continuity of Government for twenty hijackers and a vial of Anthrax in Pennsylvania before, so surely five million illegal immigrants a year is at least equivalent in terms of National Security.

Notes on Elon Musk’s CyberTown -

Here is my prompt for Elon Musk’s CyberTown near Tuscon that I put into Musk’s Grok.

can you map out a recommended place near tuscon arizona to move the headquarters of the Department of Homeland security using temporary houses with elon musk solar roofs and powerwalls with teslas and cybercabs for transportation called CyberTown>

Answer

Creating a detailed plan for relocating the headquarters of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to a new area near Tuscon, Arizona, with the specifics you've mentioned, involves several considerations:

Location Selection:

• Catalina Foothills or Oro Valley: These areas are adjacent to Tuscon and offer a blend of suburban development with proximity to urban amenities. They are known for their scenic beauty and could potentially attract employees with a higher quality of life.

• Airport Access: Being close to the Tuscon International Airport would be advantageous for DHS operations, especially if considering international or domestic travel for personnel.

• Security and Space: Areas with ample space for expansion and security measures would be ideal. The DHS would require secure facilities, possibly away from densely populated areas but with good access to main transportation arteries.

Infrastructure:

• Temporary Housing with Tesla Technology:

  • Solar Roofs and Powerwalls: Integrating Tesla's solar roofs and Powerwalls could make the community energy-self-sufficient or nearly off-grid, aligning with sustainability goals.

  • Design: For speed and scalability, opt for modular or prefabricated homes. Companies like Tesla could collaborate with construction firms specializing in sustainable housing.

• CyberTown Concept:

  • Cybercabs for Transportation: Implementing Tesla's autonomous vehicle technology for internal transportation within CyberTown would reduce the carbon footprint and align with modern tech-forward living.

Steps for Implementation:

1. Site Evaluation:

   • Conduct a thorough environmental and topographical survey to ensure the land can support sustainable living and infrastructure.

2. Legal and Regulatory Framework:

   • Coordinate with local, state, and federal authorities for zoning laws, building permits, and security clearances. Given the nature of DHS, extra security protocols would be necessary.

3. Partnership with Tesla:

   • Establish a partnership or contract with Tesla for the provision of solar roofs, Powerwalls, and the fleet of Cybercabs. This could include a pilot program or special pricing for government use.

4. Community Planning:

   • Plan the layout for efficient use of space, including residential areas, administrative buildings, recreational facilities, and secure zones for DHS operations.

5. Sustainability and Infrastructure:

   • Install solar panels on all structures, use Powerwalls for energy storage, and ensure the infrastructure supports electric vehicle charging stations throughout the community.

6. Transport and Mobility:

   • Develop an internal transport system using Cybercabs. This would require mapping and programming these vehicles to operate safely within the community.

7. Security Infrastructure:

   • Given DHS's requirements, integrating advanced security systems, both physical and cybersecurity, would be paramount.

8. Employee Relocation and Incentives:

   • Offer incentives for DHS employees to relocate, perhaps including housing benefits, integration into the CyberTown community, and lifestyle enhancements.

9. Testing and Phased Implementation:

   • Start with a pilot phase for a smaller group of employees to iron out any logistical or operational kinks before full-scale implementation.

10. Public Relations and Community Engagement:

    • Engage with the local community to ensure the project is viewed positively, addressing concerns about security, environmental impact, and economic benefits.

Challenges:

• Cost: The initial investment would be significant, though potentially offset by long-term savings in energy and transport costs.

• Acceptance: Both public and political acceptance of such a large-scale, innovative project could face hurdles.

• Technology Integration: Ensuring that Tesla's technology integrates smoothly with government operations and security needs.

This concept, while futuristic, aligns with trends towards sustainability, smart cities, and the integration of technology in governance and daily life. However, it would require careful planning, significant investment, and a commitment to innovation from all parties involved.
