I call bullshit on him calling it bullshit. They knew what he was doing as they toted his "waste, fraud, and abuse" slogan like a damn catchphrase every 25 minutes. Not only that but their "big beautiful bill" is doing the exact same thing that DOGE was doing. Call me crazy, but I think this is a smokescreen for more shady shit they are gonna do in the coming weeks or they are using him as a scapegoat so they can keep doing the exact same thing but in the shadows.
Trump wants other people to cut money so he can give tax breaks to rich people
Elon used it to limit accountability and liability for Tesla instead of saving the money Trump intended to steal
DOGE was more surgical and was used to take out groups in government the right hates. These programs did not cost much money at all and often saved money. Couple that with the costs of firing people illegally (legal fees, reinstating fired people when a judge orders it, the government paying other people more money to do required jobs that were eliminated, etc), and you have a massively expensive vendetta campaign.
