Elon Musk concluded his 130-day tenure as special government employee at the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) during a White House ceremony with President Donald Trump on Friday, where both leaders emphasized the program would continue despite Musk's departure.

The DOGE initiative has reportedly achieved $175 billion in government savings according to agency figures, though independent analysis by the Partnership for Public Service alleges it's actually cost taxpayers $135 billion.

Musk will continue serving as an informal adviser to Trump, though he has publicly criticized the administration's "Big Beautiful Bill" tax legislation for potentially increasing the budget deficit and undermining DOGE's work.

The DOGE program has fallen dramatically short of its promised targets while creating chaos in federal agencies through haphazard cuts and worker dismissals. Rather than achieving meaningful reform, this experiment in letting a tech billionaire reshape government has resulted in costly disruptions while failing to address systemic issues, ultimately costing taxpayers more than it saved.

Musk went into DOGE with the purest of intentions, and while he realized that you can't overhaul the government the same way you can a company, his legacy will certainly inspire Republicans to codify his spending cuts into law.

Musk went to Washington to turn the U.S. government into his next plaything, and like so many things he touches, it got worse. Instead of saving tax dollars, Musk's endeavor likely cost Americans over $100 billion, while simultaneously gutting vital foreign aid. After stripping funds from struggling people around the world, Musk has proven himself to be an out-of-touch, elitist billionaire.
