In reply to the discussion: Top DOGE officials are already fleeing as Musk leaves government [View all]Warpy
(113,828 posts)42. DOGE was a TOTAL FAILURE because it utterly failed to find enough waste, fraud or abuse
to come anywhere near the number King Puspocket had pulled out of his big, fat ass. They failed to find it because it wasn't there, most of it enriches guys like Musk.
They're jumping off that particular ship before it sinks under the weight of warrants, injunctions and lawsuits because most of their big dollar cuts were things they eliminated illegally, like USAID and VOA, among so many others.
Musk will skate away on his remaining billions, one hopes to a very discreet clinic somewhere in Europe to clean up and dry out for a year or so.

That 3 out of 60 still leaves a lot of Dogers to do the long term jobs. They're highly paid by Musk to stay offsite
