Initial reports claimed it would save hundreds of billions, but these turned out to be huge miscalculations. This was because contracts that were almost completed and paid for were dissolved. Later, judges reportedly obstructed things, or fired employees were begged to return due to unforeseen problems.

Musk has now left, but the final outcome is that DOGE could end up costing hundreds of billions due to a significant drop in tax revenue, as the necessary civil servants were laid off because of DOGE.

So, it hasn't been a huge success, and as collateral damage, the reputations of Musk and Tesla have been completely ruined.

Let me set this straight, JP.

You can quote your "miscalculations" and courtroom whispers all day long, but $175 billion didn't disappear into thin air. It was carved out surgically by a team that actually knows how to balance a damn ledger.

DOGE wasn't theory it was execution.
Slashed contracts. Pulverized waste. And yeah programs outside our borders got the axe too. Because guess what? America First means American wallets stop footing everyone else's bill.

But here's the kicker, and you know it:

If Kamala had gotten her claws on that Oval Office doorknob, DOGE would've never existed. We'd be drowning in woke spending, propping up globalist garbage while the middle class foots the tab.

And don't get me started on CBS and the rest of the legacy media clowns. They've been in a tailspin since Trump KO'd their narrative.
Throat-punched on election night and now they're grasping at every headline like it's a lifeline, twisting the truth harder than a snake in a vice.

So spare us the spin, JP.
DOGE delivered.
And the fact that it makes your side uncomfortable just proves it worked.

... I'm talking now. I'm talking, please. Does that sound familiar?
