Elon Musk recently addressed reporters in the White House regarding his cost-cutting initiative, DOGE, admitting it hasn't fully met his lofty $2 trillion goal. Although he highlighted a significant saving of $160 billion and a reduction of 20,000 federal jobs, Musk pointed to challenges such as internal resistance and public backlash affecting execution. He suggested an extension of DOGE until 2028 but emphasized that achieving the desired $1 trillion savings requires managing complaints and criticism. Musk's divided focus between his businesses and government work is also affecting his schedule.
In the grand scheme of things, I think we've been effective. Not as effective as I'd like. I think we could be more effective. But we've made progress.
Being attacked is not super fun. Seeing cars on fire is not fun.
It can be done, but it requires dealing with a lot of complaints.
DOGE is a way of life, like Buddhism.
