Former government efficiency department employee: DOGE is likely to collapse after Musk's departure

ChainCatcher news, a former employee of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) stated in an interview after leaving that with Musk's departure from the Trump administration, the government efficiency enhancement project he led is likely to stagnate. The Tesla CEO announced on Wednesday evening the end of his special government employee status but insisted that DOGE would continue to operate. However, insiders revealed that this department, which vowed to cut $2 trillion in federal spending, has actually saved only about $175 billion, and the statistics are riddled with flaws.

Software engineer Sahil Lavi, who worked at DOGE for nearly two months, predicted that the department would quickly "wave the white flag." "It's like the dying gasp of a struggle," Lavi, who was fired earlier this month, told Reuters, "the core appeal of this project is Musk himself." He expects DOGE employees to "gradually stop showing up, just like kids joining a startup that will go under after four months."
