Musk's Geek Squad did about as well as expected in the 180 days Musk was running the show. Getting rid of the entrenched Government bureaucracy is not going to be quick or easy, simply because of Congress. If Musk has a beef, it should be with Congressional Republicans and not Trump.

Let's face it, DOGE wasn't close to auditing every department. They had a lot left to do.


They didn't let Elon audit DOD. That's when I knew it was over.

How so?


There are republicans that don't want cuts to Medicaid. But that's not killing Doge.

Elon did what he was asked to do. Trump and Co. didn’t hold up their end of the deal.

Elon wasn't really working for free, at least in his own mind. That’s the problem.

DOGE was always kind of a joke even down to its name. It never had any teeth which is why I laughed anytime anyone acted like it was saving billions and billions of dollars

Don’t blame either. Elon did his part. Trump pushed for it and the cucked GOP in congress did nothing to codify it. So they can go to hell.

DOGE found plenty of waste. Not much was done about it.

They promised $2 Trillion.
They found $160 billion.

They racked up $135 billion in costs to cut $160 billion in programs

According to Elon, hes the sole reason we have Trump and the GOP majority.


So i guess we have Elon to thank for this.

It wasn't a complete failure.


Palantir was able to backdoor their way in through Doge, so I'm guessing they see it as a win.

If you think there's only $160 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government, we are going to laugh at you.

Again, very disingenuous.

They found $160B *in the areas they were allowed to look*.

Hell, the GAO had a hearing a few months back where they had come to a figure I think it was $600B in in fraudulent and improper payments out of SS, Medicare, and Medicade combined.

All these are facts!

Elon did his job and started finding waste and fraud on a large scale

Dem scum were fighting him the whole time

Republican Scum started getting worried about what he was finding because they are accountable as well they knew the earmarks were in the bills they approved through the years

They are all corrupt and get kickbacks nobody will ever stop this its too big

Trump cant drain the swamp no matter what he believes

Yep

When they turned off the US Treasury auto-pay, didn't it deny something like $350M in improper/uncategorized payments in the first week? Just one week
