Former government efficiency department employee: DOGE is likely to collapse after Musk's departure.

Golden Finance reported that a former employee of the government’s efficiency department (DOGE) stated in a recent interview that with Musk leaving the Trump administration, the government efficiency improvement projects he led are likely to come to a standstill. The Tesla CEO announced on Wednesday evening the end of his special government employee status but insisted that DOGE would continue to operate. However, insiders revealed that this department, which vowed to cut $2 trillion in federal spending, actually only saved about $175 billion, and the statistical data is riddled with flaws. Software engineer Sahil Lavi, who worked at DOGE for nearly two months, predicted that the department would soon “pump down.” “It’s like the dying gasp of a struggle,” Lavi, who was let go earlier this month, told Reuters, “the core appeal of this project is Elon Musk himself.” He expects DOGE employees to “gradually stop coming to work, just like children who join a startup that will fold after four months.”
