DOGE has brought the topic of government reform to the forefront, overshadowing any attempts to discuss it in a productive manner. The left is fearful of DOGE’s intentions and sees it as a bad faith effort. But despite the controversy, there is a growing realization that even billionaires may not be able to disrupt the entrenched system. The difficulties in implementing change in government are detailed, including the power struggles and resistance from entrenched interests. The system is shown to be slow, inefficient, and resistant to change, with even minor improvements taking years to implement. The prospect of Elon and other billionaires attempting to break through these barriers is met with skepticism and uncertainty.
