Doge exposed more corruption and waste in 6 months than the entire Congress ever did in all of history . And then we just threw him to the side. Trump has failed us by not keeping doge going full speed ahead.
Corruption runs our entire country. Pathetic
Especially as a guy like Elon comes around once every 200 years. What a wasted opportunity.

Doge is still doing its thing. Elon went autistic and flipped out.

What are you talking about? The Trump administration is implementing DOGE and other reductions of the federal bureaucracy.

They still communicate privately. The public relationship was too costly for Elon. But quietly, things are occurring regarding cost reduction that are very positive for our government.

Elon had a limited time to work in the government. He fulfilled his obligation.

I understand doge is still active but it certainly seems as if it’s been handcuffed. Be honest, if we investigated congress don’t you think 95 % would do jail time ?

Are you stupid or just trolling? What in the frick do you think the shutdown was about? It was about all of the cuts made by Trump. You do understand he can't just walk in and fire 1,000,000 workers. Oh and shut the absolute frick up. The guy has only been in office 9 months and already done more than he did in his previous term.

Quit clutching your pearls. Elon only had a limited amount of time or he would have had to be confirmed. Elon has bigger and better long term plans for humanity. He was NEVER going to be a permanent part of Trump's administration.

Why do you think the DOGE effort is being sidelined? Because Fox hasn’t talked about it in a while? The work is ongoing quietly behind the scenes and out of the spotlight. Lee Zeldin’s crew at EPA is making the most progress of all of the cabinet heads.

Elon thought there would be DOGE cuts for thee but not DOGE cuts for me.

Elon only originally agreed to do it for 90 days. It was never a permanent thing for Elon

Among other executive positions / directorships, Elon Musk is the CEO of a business currently valued at 1.3 trillion

He is not a prop an administration can just keep around indefinitely

Elon hasgiven more to this country by most working to expose the corruption and DOGE is still working along with the Secretary of Treasury. , Scott Bessent.

Elon has companies to run and and certainly contributed more to this country than you will ever do. What have you done besides piss and moan like a bitch on a message board?

I watched a string of satellites trailing across the sky last night. At least 25 all in a row. Starlink doing some work up there.

Elon did his job politically. Glad he got to get back to his real work.

Well .... maybe.

Far more likely is TSLA was taking a hit. Musk needed to put a little distance between himself and the Administration, and he needed to get back to running the company.

It is the influx of debt based currency that keeps our whole economy from tanking. Trump must finesse the dependence on this money as the return of manufacturing replaces it. I think too much cutting too soon might have wrecked the whole system.

Elon knows this. He’s focusing on AI, which will change the whole ecosystem. And likely Humanity.

That was just bread and circus probably so he could sweep stuff under the rug at the start of the new term.

Any cuts were never passed into law.

Elon said from the very beginning that he would only serve for 180 days.

What exactly are you arguing for here? That Trump should force him to work for the government?
