As opposed to what it claimed it would accomplish and then actually got done, all DOGE did was ruin faith in cost-efficient government, civil servants' reputations, breakthrough scientific research and the lives of millions of the world's poor. It also protected Musk from having his companies regulated while costing U.S. taxpayers dearly.

DOGE's early disbandment proves the mission was accomplished faster than expected. The principles of deregulation, eliminating waste and making efficiency a priority have been successfully catalyzed and will now be institutionalized across agencies forever. The work continues through established government offices and should remain as aggressive as it was under Elon Musk.
