Sahil Lavingia, a former employee of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, faced termination after expressing his surprise at the federal workforce's efficiency and dedication. His blog post detailed his 50-day experience, noting that he struggled to make tangible progress within the department. Despite being unable to improve services or save taxpayer dollars, he critiqued the DOGE's structure for resembling consulting personnel rather than a transformative agency, ultimately reflecting Musk's austerity vision falling short of its goals.
I built several prototypes, but was never able to get approval to ship anything to production that would actually improve American lives - while also saving money for the American taxpayer.
DOGE was more like having McKinsey volunteers embedded in agencies rather than the revolutionary force I'd imagined.
