Elon Musk has stepped down from DOGE after completing his 130-day mission, criticizing the system for undermining reform.
There is ambiguity surrounding Musk's departure, with his disappointment in government initiatives that he believes hinder DOGE's function.
Walter Isaacson noted Musk's criticism was aimed at the broader system and his frustration with Washington interests capturing politicians.
Musk's intensity in various roles has been both beneficial and detrimental to his businesses, with his government position possibly harming his reputation.
While Musk's initiative to reduce government institutional budgets may have been necessary, its success remains debatable, and negative consequences are evident.
