Elon Musk's initiative, termed the Department of Government Efficiency, is criticized for its ineffectiveness in reducing government waste. Initially promising savings of $2 trillion, Musk has reduced his target to $150 billion, but experts question the validity of these claims. The method of mass-firing and rehiring workers is predicted to cost taxpayers up to $135 billion, along with substantial losses in IRS revenue. Criticism includes claims of exacerbating inefficiencies rather than alleviating them, with lawsuits piling up against the measures implemented.
Not only is Musk vastly overinflating the money he has saved, he is not accounting for the exponentially larger waste that he is creating.
Experts agree that the way Musk and DOGE went about mass-firing workers and slashing budgets was counterproductive and could've been done in a far more meaningful and effective way.
