Ben & Jerry’s co-founder serves up support for Musk, DOGE with genius new contest

The dawning of the new golden era in America is creating unusual alliances with some liberals correctly seeing the corrupt swamp and the Deep State blob as a common enemy.

Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen is on board with Elon Musk and the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and on the day that President Donald J. Trump was inaugurated, he launched a new meme contest offering a cryptocurrency prize for entrants who put their creative talents to use in identifying the worst government spender and waster.

“Pentagon bureaucrats torch $2 million of taxpayer money every minute. In honor of @DOGE, I’m launching @dogevsblob, a meme contest highlighting the biggest gov’t spender + waster. We’re giving away 1,000 @dogecoin a day. If anyone can slash the Pentagon budget, @elonmusk can. Let’s support him,” Cohen wrote in a Monday post to X.

The ice cream magnate linked to the website and announced that people could enter the contest for free up to nine times a day for the next 100 days with the winners getting a prize of 10,000 DOGE coins, an ingenious and fun way to help Musk and the new agency identify targets that are abusing taxpayers and to eliminate them.

“I’ll personally select the two best memes to win 10,000 grand prizes,” he wrote.

“Unelected bureaucrats in Washington are torching $2 million of taxpayer money every minute — fueling endless wars, lining their pockets, and drowning the nation deeper into debt. Over $6 trillion has gone to disastrous war efforts, malfunctioning weapons systems, and crony contracts. That ends now,” states the Doge vs. Blob website.

“Elon created DOGE to take down the Pentagon’s bloated budget, nicknamed the Blob for its uncontrollable sprawl. Join the coalition of Blob slayers by spreading facts that inform, shock, and move the needle on Washington’s most wasteful farce — and stack some dogecoin while you’re at it,” the website said, adding “Join Elon in taking down the blob.”

Among examples featured on the website are the Pentagon paying $5,689.60 for a soap dispenser that can be bought on Amazon for $71.12 and the Air Force spending $10,000 for a toilet seat that is sold at Lowes for $28.

“I’m supporting an issue and I’m happy to work together with anyone else who supports that issue… I think the key to get anything done in the country is to work with people of any political persuasion where you have common ground. And that’s what I’m looking to do,” Cohen said in a comment to Fox Business.

The brand and its founders have consistently supported the far-left progressive agenda and have promoted it with special flavor editions of its product.
