Insiders at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are reportedly worried about their own jobs as key figures tied to Elon Musk exit the agency. The departures have cast doubt on whether the ambitious cost-cutting push—once a flagship initiative—can stay on track.

Editor’s Note: When high-profile backers of a major policy start jumping ship, it’s usually a sign of trouble. If DOGE’s belt-tightening mission stalls, it could mean less oversight on spending—or just another bureaucratic shuffle with little real impact. Either way, employees sweating their futures suggests instability behind the scenes.
