Trump never really cared about cuts. Maybe Elon did, but he would've been pretty alone within Trump world on that.
My original prediction was that DOGE wouldn't make much of an impact, they would claim some victory which is much inflated compared to reality, then move on. I stand by that prediction.

I think that's right. I do think some value came out of it to highlight to the masses how ridiculous government spending has gotten. Any level of additional distrust in politicians is a good thing in my book.

Yes, I agree with Michael Malice. The average man's view of politicians should be the way they view a tobacco executive.

Yep, at the very least they've moved the Overton Window. I've had some good conversations with some friends about why it's not actually crazy to cut the Dept. of Education
