🚨As Musk Leaves DOGE, What Comes Next After the Billionaire’s Government Experiment?
Wearing a black “DOGE” baseball cap and a T-shirt emblazoned with the word “Dogefather,” Musk said he hoped to continue to be a “friend and adviser to the President” and expressed confidence that the cost-cutting effort he started would eventually find the $1 trillion in savings he had promised.
“The DOGE team will only grow stronger over time,” he said, referring to the Department of Government Efficiency, a network of engineers he led who were tasked with rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse from the federal government.
Musk’s role as a special government employee working for Trump was always intended to be temporary, and he had recently expressed interest in returning his focus to his businesses, as Tesla in particular suffered from plunging sales.
