Why did you do DOGE and what did it achieve?

“Very true! Many times, the @DOGE team has found excellent people at the working level in government who want to do the right thing, but have been prevented from doing so by prior management. Treasury is a great example. If we just empower them to make the sensible decisions they’ve always wanted to make, the reduction in fraud & waste would be massive! Moreover, we should REWARD those in government who do the right thing for the American people as a whole!”
