Elon Musk plans to limit his work with DOGE as his time at the Trump White House drops 'significantly'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Elon Musk says he will lessen his time in Washington starting next month as President Trump nears 100 days in office as the world's richest man says his work setting up DOGE is "mostly done" and plans to turn much of his focus back towards his companies.
53% : A tracker of real-time government spending from the Brookings Institution shows that overall government spending in calendar year 2025 is actually slightly up from 2024 spending levels even as the effect of DOGE can clearly be seen on smaller agencies like the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
51% : Musk's more limited role leaves the fate of his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort in limbo with many of his top promises unfulfilled.
45% : Musk memorably promised during the 2024 campaign to cut "at least" $2 trillion from the annual federal budget before repeatedly struggling to implement overall changes in government spending and repeatedly downgrade promises.
38% : Musk has changed Washington after forging a tight bond with Trump during the 2024 campaign but has also struggled to work with the president's other aides and with political realities in the nation's capital.
