Let the space nazi get back to making cars that blow up and hit school children and rockets that blow up.
Why do people keep saying this? It wasn’t a failure at all from his perspective. He didn’t go in there to make government more efficient. He went in there to:
-
Get investigations and lawsuits against his companies dropped,
-
Get more government contracts for those companies,
-
and to kneecap the agencies that regulate his companies.
-
installed a bunch of Starlink access points all over government to upload all the data to
Russiathe cloud…
This was a complete success by any metric he cares about.
Edited to add the last bullet point.
It’s amazing how much the media refuse to believe people have other interests than their publicly stated goals.
Don’t forget installing a bunch of Starlink access points all over government to upload all the data to
Russiathe cloud …Excellent point. I’ll add that in.
Because they don’t like pointing out who wins from this. Might be paid by the same people.

Not for him. He stole a bunch of data on us and kneecapped all the institutions that were investigating him.
Was it? He destroyed or at least deeply damaged a lot of the government agencies that were supposed to regulate and oversee his business endeavors. He received multiple massive government contracts for his companies. He also seems to be using his influence to force other countries to use his products. And his personal philosophy on South Africa seems to be driving US foreign policy. I’m not sure what’s a failure at all. Not for him. For the nation on the other hand…
When all is settled down, DOGE won’t have saved anything remarkable, but they will be on the receiving end of so many lawsuits that the government will have to pay for till kingdom comes…
Uh… he did get access and presumably copies of federal and personal data on the citizens.
Failure for who?
Duuuuuh.
It went basically like any reasonable person expected it to. Unfortunately many people in the US are unreasonable
