Pretty sure the DOGE intent was good, but real efforts were mostly sidelined for the Trump pony show. Thus the 'fighting' words that followed when the BBB tax cut showed up.

Consider what would have happened if Elon wasn't there. Likely the same. The people wanting those things cut are still present.

I wish he hadn't gone along with them, but there likely had to be concessions before attempting to make progress. When it became clear cost savings and efficiency wasn't the actual goal in the White House, Elon left.

Any chance you could help keep this site political flamewar free?

Not everyone agrees with you politically and it's unpleasant to have to wade through these kind of rants to read about interesting things.

You have strong feelings, I get it, but please stop the pollution. I am trying my best to say this in a kind and sincere way. There are plenty of other places to make political rants.

That was not a political rant. It was a summary of what actually happened.
