Rick Wilson: "DOGE" was Muskian bulls**t from the very start & created more costs than it saved [View all]

The Lincoln Project founder Rick Wilson joked Donald Trump is "sick of winning" and pointed out the shortcomings of Musk's DOGE project. The Tesla CEO had been tasked with cutting government spending and promised the department would be closed within the first two years of the presidency.

"I was told that DOGE was going to create trillions and trillions of dollars in cuts from wasteful government spending and as it turns out it was a net negative," Wilson said. "It created more costs than it saved. It was, from the very start, Muskian bulls**t."

Wilson went on to suggest Musk's strategy was more about cutting what he did not like in government rather than actively pursuing government spending oversights.

Musk's strategy according to Wilson was, "an aesthetic dislike of X, anything that's woke, and because of his hatred of the woke he wanted to slash things that included words like 'justice, equity, climate, bias,' the usual things that trigger the MAGA."
