DAVID MARCUS: What America owes Elon Musk after DOGE

As Elon Musk prepares to step back from his service in the Trump administration, the nation owes him a debt of gratitude for breaking through decades of empty promises about exposing and ending waste, fraud and abuse in Washington. Musk shared on Tuesday that his time focused on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) would "drop significantly" as he moves to refocus on the businesses and ventures he left behind to serve Trump and the American people. As head of the DOGE, Musk has actually done something about out-of-control spending, and more importantly, he has put systems in place to further and continue this vital work even once he is gone. According to its website, DOGE has saved the federal government 106 billion dollars thus far, or about a thousand bucks per American citizen, which is not chump change. In fact, it is exactly the kind of change our country has long needed.
