1.1 DOGE Department and Elon Musk’s Departure
Elon Musk’s departure as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has generated widespread assessment of his impact. Multiple sources indicate his tenure created substantial operational disruption across federal agencies [1][2], with some outlets characterizing his legacy in stark negative terms [3]. During his Oval Office farewell, Musk appeared sporting a black eye, attributed to “horsing around” with his son X [4]. Despite the formal exit, President Trump indicated Musk is “not really leaving” [5], with Musk stating he’ll remain “a friend and an adviser” [6]. Reports allege Musk used ketamine and carried a “box of pills” during his tenure [7], while DOGE policy impacts remain controversial, with reports claiming USAid cuts have been “blamed for 300,000 deaths — most of them children” [8].
