DOGE has been wildly successful - at its true goals. Elon stole all the data and severely compromised computing systems across the entire government (the Berulis whistleblowing documents are insane). Vought (now in charge, always a player) has been using DOGE as the mechanism to advance P2025 objectives of shrinking the government, including destroying science, cancelling contracts, and tormenting employees. This is still ongoing under Vought but he is just less flashy and more sinister. The ongoing second wave of cuts is slower than the first but will cut much deeper.
