With Elon Musk, chaos is never far away. Man with a thousand projects are preparing to turn the page on his political adventure, leaving behind a Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) out of breath. The dream of “revolutionizing the American administration” was diluted in bureaucratic ineffectiveness, while Tesla, her flagship, threatens to sink. Musk is about to do the best he can do: flee a fire to try to turn another.
Doge: one more mirage in the musk universe
The story had however started drum. Musk announced historic cuts in federal spending, with A surrealist objective of $ 2,000 billion. On arrival? 150 billion barely touched, a drop of water in the American budget ocean. The promised revolutionary breath evaporated as quickly as it had appeared.
Elon Musk would consider leaving her government office, saying herself tired of repeated attacks and, according to him, unjustified on the part of the political left.

Among the striking episodes of this adventure: the massive sending of emails to federal officials, demanding that they list five weekly accomplishments under penalty of sanctions. An authoritarian maneuver which quickly turned out to be a sword in the water. L’Office of Personal Management Immediately specified that no sanction would be applied. Since then, these emails have ended up in oblivion, the answers are rare, and no one seems to worry about it. Another project probably canceled, that of attacking the American taxman with a hackaton.
Doge, without real leadership or strategy, moreover deemed dangerous by many cybersecurity expertsgot bogged down in an ineffective routine, once again illustrating the Musk method: promise creative chaos and deliver disorder without tomorrow.
Tesla recalls Musk: the urgency does not wait
While Doge is running out of steam, Tesla enters the critical zone. Sales are declining, the projects of Robotaxis or Humanoid robots bog The title on the stock market gives disturbing signs as approaching the publication of financial results. Dan Ives, Wedbush Securities analyst, did not chew his words: Musk must leave Doge and return to Tesla, tried in a situation of “red code”.
Tesla, it’s Musk, and Musk, it’s Tesla … And whoever thinks that the damage caused by Musk to the brand is not real should spend some time chatting with car buyers in the United States, Europe and Asia. After these exchanges, your opinion will change.
Faced with this industrial emergency, timing leaves no room for chance. Elon Musk is about to turn his back on politics, not by weariness, but because his industrial empire threatens to collapse without him. On the other hand, we do not know precisely when Elon Musk will leave his post at the head of Department of Government Efficiency ; His status as “Special Government Employee” will expire at the end of next month.
His departure, however, hovers a serious doubt about the future of this funny organization. Officially, DOGE had to hold until July 2026, but everything suggests that it could disappear long before. The vagueness is total: according to the Commercial Real Estate Finance Councilnothing says that the department will continue under another direction, or even that it will survive in a restructured form.
