DOGE has been doge'ed. Gone. Finis.

Don't be fooled. It was another badly run venture that had some successes but by and large failed. None of Elon's boasting panned out.

Now they cannot say it is over, so they say dumb things like "doge principles will live on". Whatever dude.

DOGE isn't dead, it lives on in our hearts for its brief, useless, but mildly entertaining existence

I don't know if DOGE is truly gone or not, but if a democrat was in charge, the department would have a quarter million employees by now, a billion-dollar budget, and zero chances of closing shop.

DOGE was a spectacular failure and embarrassment for everyone involved.

long story short, one conman hired another to over-promise on spending cuts, break a bunch of ****, lie relentlessly to pretend he could even achieve 10% of the savings he promised, and meekly quit while calling trump a pedo on the way out.

all this while trump increased government spending even more.

---

Would like a citation on this.

---

I thought Elon just said that he knew (saw?) Trump's name was in the Epstein files.

---

Sure, which has been public knowledge for years. Calling him a pedo is a giant leap and if Elon actually said that I would not expect they would still be on talking terms, which they are.

Good point. There's been nothing to show that Trump has done anything with a female under 18, so to say he's a pedo is wrong on every level.

Dude, what happened to you? You seem to believe whatever fits your current internal monologue. Seriously, when did you fall off the cliff? Your posts have turned into pure vitriol. Was it Trump getting elected? You think Biden's administration was doing great work? You think some other version of the uniparty with never ending GMO's sucking every penny out of you and I was and is working?

I'm not crapping on you. I honestly want to know. What would great look like for this country in your eyes?

Reports claiming DOGE is finished are incorrect, rather leadership has been decentralized across multiple offices, and DOGE is still executing billions in contracts. pic.twitter.com/zsAnByFDNc

What a clownish, smug post. Looks like someone is upset that DOGE gutted his/her worthless parties honeypot in USAID.

Thanks Biden! Let's talk about that stupid 4.8T he gave to people to buy tvs from amazon. Amazon's revenue doubled from 2020 to 2021. Way to go left!

Congrats that your Dem overlords passed all those bills that have consumed the US federal budget and cannot be stopped, I guess...

Might have been less of a spectacular failure without the liberal judges stopping every attempt to let it work and slowing it to a crawl.

Still mad they cut off zher USAID money

He is trying to fire as many people as he can and eliminate branches like DOE and USAID for example, while Doge is working on Audits.

Ultimately it is up to Congress and they are more dead than DOGE, they have done nothing to help. They should be trying like hell to cut the budget and run on that in the midterms but they are do nothing losers and unless the economy takes off, they'll likely lose the house

redistricting should help but I have seen nothing on that front, again Republicans in RED states are weak and slow to act

I am an American and a Texan born in Dallas. I want the best for my country. I believe this is the same for almost everyone here. I also voted for Trump in all 3 elections. Just some background for you.

I still am on the Trump bandwagon as I see him as the only hope to reverse the hollowing out of America. Biden sucks and I am glad is he out forever.

That said, DOGE was a great idea but I think it was implemented poorly. I wonder if Elon was really altruistic with it or had some ulterior motive? I don't know, but I don't trust the guy. As of today I still trust Trump though some of his H1B pronouncements have been confusing but I will watch his actions, not his words.

Cutting Government waste is a great idea. Since Elon is a great successful CEO (which he is) I expected it to be done more professionally but he went to work with a chain-saw so it would look more spectacular. Pissed off other department heads. There is a way to do things for maximum impact.

Once Elon left, they should have had a new DOGE head, if there is no one knows who he/she is. It seems to be rolled under another dept which is codeword for "we are getting rid of it but we can't openly say so".

We are on the same team but we should also call out the mistakes/faults of the team we support.

Now even Elon admits it wasn't too successful.
He went about it all wrong and pissed many people off. I was expecting someone of his experience to be better at this.

My personal view is that it was a failure.

Elon Musk says DOGE 'somewhat successful' but would not do it again

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency was only "a little bit successful", Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on a podcast on Tuesday, adding that he would not lead the project again.
The billionaire, who is founder of electric car company Tesla, was a major donor to Trump's presidential election campaign and became a close ally and adviser to his administration.

Musk led the DOGE team in seeking to slash the federal government's budget and workforce in the first five months of Trump's second term.
But the role and his political rhetoric sparked a backlash against him and Tesla, including vandalism of Tesla cars.
"I think instead of doing DOGE, I would have basically worked on my companies. And they wouldn't have been burning the cars," Musk said on the podcast with former Trump administration official Katie Miller.
"We were a little bit successful. We were somewhat successful. We stopped a lot of funding that really just made no sense, that was entirely wasteful," Musk said.
Asked if he would go back and lead DOGE again, Musk said: "No, I don't think so."
