Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) update

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, is being praised in some circles for what supporters are calling a long-overdue financial housecleaning in Washington. Allegedly identifying over $2.7 billion in waste at the Social Security Administration and uncovering murky spending practices at agencies like USAID and the Pentagon, DOGE has quickly built a reputation as a no-nonsense watchdog. Insiders say the operation has already saved taxpayers hundreds of millions—and that’s just the beginning.

Proponents argue DOGE is finally delivering the accountability voters have demanded for years, streamlining bloated programs and cutting unnecessary costs without raising taxes. The agency’s tech-driven auditing tools are being credited for detecting inefficiencies that traditional oversight bodies missed for decades. With Musk reportedly eyeing the intelligence community next, supporters say DOGE is proving that government reform doesn’t have to be slow.
