The idea of a potential $5,000 check from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has sparked widespread interest.

McLaurine Pinover, a spokesperson for the Office of Personnel Management, defended DOGE's mass firings as a way to boost government efficiency while using her work hours to film influencer content

As the Office of Personnel Management oversaw the layoffs of thousands of federal workers and pressed others to justify their positions, the agency’s chief spokesperson repeatedly used her office for a side hustle: aspiring Instagram fashion influencer.

The agency is considering dramatically curtailing the phone services that 73 million retired and disabled Americans rely on.

Musk said in a FOX Business interview that DOGE's cost-cutting efforts will reach $1 trillion in savings "unless we're stopped" and said the group has made "good progress."

All the chaos, confusion, and hurt DOGE has caused public servants to suffer, and the damage to our Government's ability to do what we need doesn't add up to the savings Elon Musk's team claims. Musk claims to operate with unprecedented transparency and has posted "receipts" for the savings on DOGE.

Elon Musk's DOGE remains largely popular among Americans as the agency estimates it has slashed $105billion since Donald Trump took office.
