I remember in these forums a lot of people smugly asking, “how can you be against cutting fraud and making the government more efficient?”

Did anyone really think they were going to actually do the work of going through all the contracts and finding actual waste? There's no way they could have done that with how fast they illegally stopped the funding for all those contracts. And anyone with a brain knows the real reason they did it was so Musk and Trump could come in and privatize it all to benefit from it personally.

Won’t matter.

“… The White House is publicly standing behind its work with DOGE. Nonetheless, the public feud between Trump and Musk has rattled rank-and-file DOGE employees, who worry the government-cutting effort—and their jobs—could be in jeopardy.

… White House spokesman Harrison Fields said Trump’s “success through DOGE is undisputed, and [the president’s] work will continue to yield historic results.”

… Musk’s exit from DOGE leaves a vacuum at the head of the group. Musk’s top lieutenant, Steve Davis, was in charge of the day-to-day management at DOGE, but he has also departed.

Office of Management and Budget leader Russell Vought, who has worked to advance the DOGE agenda, said in congressional testimony earlier this week that with Musk out of the picture, “cabinet agencies that are in charge of the DOGE consultants that work for them are fundamentally in control of DOGE.”…”
