Elon Musk confirms DOGE is here to stay

"It's a long-term effort. It's a long-term effort because if we lose sight of the goal, waste and fraud will come back with force. They can audit DOGE when the Democrats return to power.

We're trying to make it so that the funding disappears, that the grants are eliminated. So it takes a lot of work to reset the waste and fraud.

Don’t these people respect taxpayer money?

I mean, there’s no incentive if you work in government. I believe incentives always determine outcomes. Yes. And, you know, the way the payment system is set up, if you ask for money, they just give it to you. Wow."

Since its creation on January 20, 2025, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), launched by President Donald J. Trump and led with vision and determination by Elon Musk, has been a fundamental tool in restoring fiscal responsibility, efficiency, and accountability to the federal government.

Historic Reduction of Federal Spending
Thanks to Musk's leadership, DOGE has significantly reduced unnecessary spending, saving taxpayers over $160 billion. Wasteful practices have been eliminated, bureaucratic red tape has been cut, and the principle that every taxpayer dollar must be respected has been restored.

Ending the DEI Ideology in Government
DOGE has taken decisive steps to remove the divisive ideology of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) from the federal apparatus. With a clear and phased plan, DEI offices and programs that drained resources and sowed division have been dismantled, ensuring that government once again focuses on merit and public service.

Smart Privatization and Modernization
Inspired by Musk’s business-minded approach, DOGE has promoted efficiency through privatization and public-private partnerships. Entities such as the Postal Service and Amtrak are under review, and outsourcing of certain services has begun to reduce bureaucratic burden and improve service to citizens.

Restructuring for a Leaner Government
DOGE has led deep reforms in key agencies such as the Office of Personnel Management and the General Services Administration, modernizing processes, improving systems, and reducing the influence of union interests that previously hindered change.

A Legacy of Efficiency and Patriotism
Despite predictable criticism from the left and mainstream media, Elon Musk’s work has been supported by millions of Americans tired of waste and inefficiency. He has brought back common-sense business practices to government and shown that bold leadership can deliver more with less.

Although Musk has announced he will scale back his day-to-day involvement in DOGE to focus on his companies, his legacy has already left a lasting mark on the modern history of the federal government. Thanks to President Trump and Elon Musk, government is now working better, costing less, and serving the American people more effectively.
