Groundwork’s Lindsay Owens on Musk’s DOGE Failure: “Americans see right through Musk’s scheme”

Last night, Elon Musk, co-leader of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) backed off his promise of $2 trillion in spending cuts. Groundwork Collaborative Executive Director Lindsay Owens reacted with the following statement:

“President-elect Trump hasn’t even taken office and Elon Musk is already admitting failure on DOGE’s deeply unpopular and unrealistic agenda. Americans see right through Musk’s scheme to pay for his own tax breaks by defunding Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare.”
