Writer and political commentator Molly Jong-Fast slammed Elon Musk for his work at DOGE, calling it “a lot of drama for not a lot of savings,” on Morning Joe Wednesday morning.
“I want to turn back to Elon Musk, the other part of that package. He seems to be leaving with a bit of a whimper here,” Jonathan Lemire said to Jong-Fast. “We played some audio from earlier on the Tesla call. He said he’d still be around now and then, a day here, a day there, but clearly his role is drawing down, and let’s just talk about the legacy of DOGE, where it has plenty of job cuts, plenty of chaos, but nowhere near the savings Musk promised. I mean, not even close by a factor of a lot. They missed their goals and a lot of it, that they’ve said they’ve accomplished, they got wrong.”

“I mean, it was a lot of drama for not a lot of savings, and I think that’s the top line,” Jong-Fast said. “Look, the reason why now Elon is on the defensive is because Tesla’s profits were down 71%. That is a crazy number. Is there a huge precedent for that? That seems enormous to me. Look, he’s now had to step back from this and remember they had numbers that were going to be humongous. They were going to save so much money, and it’s been down, down, down.”
She believes, “There were ways to do this in a way that wasn’t so aggressive that might have been, you know, with a scalpel and not with a chainsaw, and instead, Elon went with the chainsaw and the drama. Ultimately, it’s reflected in these polling numbers, it’s just not a popular move.”
