In an op-ed for Fox News, author David Bahnsen writes: Much like so much about President Donald Trump’s agenda and the highly polarizing political times we live in, careful and objective analysis of DOGE and its leader Elon Musk’s efforts to right-size government is hard to come by as hysteria, chaos, and misinformation dominate the airwaves.
Some of this chaos is the fault of critics of the administration, who are willing to throw any criticism they can at the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE to see what sticks. Some of it is by the design of DOGE, where Musk and other DOGE architects have conceded the point that to make an omelet they are going to have to break a few eggs.
