President 1.0 no more?
Good long read / autopsy.

When Musk first began his position with the Department of Government Efficiency, he set the ambitious goal of cutting $2 trillion from government spending. On Friday, April 11, Musk announced that DOGE would lower its projected savings estimate for fiscal year 2026 from $1 trillion to $150 billion. As recently as a March 27 interview on Fox News, Musk said he was on pace to eliminate $1 trillion in federal spending by the end of May.
The most recent estimate for DOGE savings was $170 billion on May 11. This is up $10 billion from the estimated $160 on April 20. The agency estimates it has saved each taxpayer about $1,055.90.
