Elon Musk’s 130-day tenure as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Donald Trump’s second term was anything but ordinary. From axing entire federal agencies to clashing with Trump over a trillion-dollar spending bill, Musk made headlines daily—often with a toddler in tow and a chainsaw on stage.
DOGE promised modernisation and cost-cutting. Instead, it left behind chaos: 100,000 layoffs, shuttered departments, and legal battles. In this video, we unpack the rise and fall of Musk’s political experiment, his clash with Trump, and what it means for the future of governance in America.
