What Musk's DOGE Really Cut: Trust, Safety, and Democracy - Roosevelt Institute
The American public deserves a government that is fit for purpose and delivers on its promises. But Elon Musk never intended to create that.

What it concealed was a public sector novice who failed to understand the basic mechanics of the institutions he railed against incessantly.
