The future of the Doge team is one of the most important questions after the conflict that occurred last week between the US president and the world's richest man – believes the newspaper.
Doge employees imprisoned in federal bureaucracy are afraid of the consequences of the dispute, including The fact that with the departure of Musk the Series of Doge can shrink. “I'm worried that when Elon leaves, nobody joins, and (Doge) will simply disappear slowly,” said Sahil Laveingia, who until recently worked in Doge as a software engineer in the Veteran Department. Activities in Doge “resembled pushing the boulder uphill, which simply drops if the work is not continued” – quotes his words “WSJ”.
After last week's exchange of blows, Doge lost some supporters. James Fishback, one of the first Doge advisers, stood on the side of Trump. He stated that Musk's behavior was “completely disturbing” and that he should apologize to the president. Steve Bannon, a former Trump advisor and an ardent Muska critic, said that the Doge initiative turned out to be a failure. Musk “promised trillions of dollars (recovered thanks to the restriction) of waste, fraud and abuse,” he reminded.
Doge claims that thanks to the combination of assets sales, cancellation of contracts, employment reduction and other movements, it was possible to cut expenses by $ 180 billion. However, budget experts question this claim.
