David Sacks Warns DOGE Will All Be For Nothing, Unless…<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

AI & Crypto Czar David Sacks warns that Elon Musk\u2019s efforts to expose waste and abuse at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) may be futile unless Congress significantly reduces federal spending.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we really need is for Congress to now embrace all of the corruption that Elon has found and eliminate it from the budget,<\/strong> because at the end of the day, in order to capture the savings here, we do need those appropriations eliminated from the budget,\u201d Sacks said on the All-In podcast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sacks warned that the real danger isn\u2019t Musk backing down, but Congress slipping back into its entrenched pattern of reckless spending.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese old bulls in Congress who control the appropriations process\u2014are they going to basically backslide and just put the spending back in because it\u2019s easier to engage in this logrolling, or do we take advantage of this?<\/strong>\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

Sacks emphasized the immense personal cost Musk has borne to reveal systemic corruption, citing the widespread protests targeting Tesla properties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has cost him enormously.<\/strong> One of the reasons why Tesla is down is because you’ve had crazy leftists engaging in terrorism, firebombing Tesla dealerships,\u201d the Trump official said. \u201cWe\u2019ve basically learned that this whole NGO thing is a giant scam<\/strong> where the people in government give enormous amounts of money to their friends, probably with the expectation that when they leave government, they’re going to be next in line at the trough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since Musk took the helm at DOGE, Tesla has been under siege<\/a> from a wave of protests and brazen acts of vandalism across the U.S. and beyond,<\/strong> with far-left activists resorting to arson, gunfire, and defacing dealerships, vehicles, and charging stations with hateful graffiti. The so-called “Tesla Takedown” movement has orchestrated demonstrations at hundreds of Tesla locations, pushing an anti-DOGE agenda to tank Musk\u2019s company by calling for mass sell-offs of Tesla stock and boycotts of the brand.<\/p>\n

Sacks then stressed that while Musk has laid bare the government\u2019s dysfunction, without decisive action from Congress to slash spending, his efforts risk being squandered.<\/p>\n

\u201cElon’s done an enormous service exposing this. But it’s not entirely up to him. In order for us to realize the benefit, we need Congress now to act on that. I\u2019m afraid that\u2019s not going to happen<\/strong>,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n

In March, President Donald Trump threw his support behind a rescission package to implement major spending cuts spearheaded by DOGE. \u201cIt would be great. I think we\u2019re going to do that,\u201d Trump told reporters.<\/p>\n

According to a memo from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) obtained by the New York Post<\/a>, the administration is pushing two proposals to slash $9.3 billion. \u201cThe first includes a rescission of $8.3 billion in wasteful foreign aid spending (out of $22 billion) that does not expire in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025. The second is a separate rescission of all Federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) \u2014 which funds the politically biased public radio and public television system,\u201d the Post<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
