Republican Operatives Want to Distance Themselves From Elon Musk's DOGE
Briefly

Amid uncertainty regarding Elon Musk's departure from his government role, Republican operatives are distancing themselves from him while still endorsing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Sources claim that, despite Musk's declining popularity, DOGE remains favored among some Republicans. The situation was further complicated by the news of Steve Davis, a key figure within DOGE, leaving the organization as well. This turmoil hints at changes ahead for DOGE, even as a press conference approaches where Trump and Musk will appear together.
"Everybody is in a bit of a fucking pinch. You know, the whole thing's just fucking ridiculous, honestly. People agree with what he's trying to do. But some people just need a villain."
"DOGE is popular, even if Elon, personally, is less so."
"This will be his last day, but not really, because he will always be with us, helping all the way," Trump said.
"Steven was the only person who was across everything."
