#Trump100Days While any government savings are noteworthy, the gap between the pitch and reality drew criticism. A recent New York Times report cited a $135 billion cost due to disruptions caused by DOGE—everything from staff layoffs and rehires to workflow slowdowns and extended leave periods.
Still, Trump expressed his appreciation:
> “You’ve really sacrificed a lot. You’ve been treated very unfairly.”
To which Musk quipped:
> “They like to burn my cars, which is not great.”
Back to Tesla—and the Future
Despite stepping back, Musk clarified he’s not abandoning DOGE completely.
> “I’ll continue as long as the president wants me to and as long as it’s useful,” he said. “But starting next month, most of my time goes back to Tesla.”
A printed DOGE report was placed in front of Trump $TRUMP during the Cabinet session, serving as the symbolic end of Musk’s short but headline-grabbing stint in public service.
As DOGE winds down and Musk returns to his roots in engineering and innovation, the crypto and tech world watches closely. His pivot could mean more energy poured back into Tesla, SpaceX—and who knows, maybe even more attention to crypto ventures like Dogecoin or blockchain innovation in the private sector.
