DOGE critics: ‘It’s not clear how they can deliver’
Politico“They’re making very large promises upon which it’s not clear how they can deliver,” American Enterprise Institute senior fellow Kevin Kosar told DFD. “This is a time when we actually need to be doubling down and reinforcing our innovation system, and we would hope that any department looking to create efficiencies is mindful of that.” That concern extends to the tech world, even among those who share Musk and Ramaswamy’s desire to reinvent American government. Rohit Krishnan, a Bay Area venture capitalist who has written his own prescription for how an “anti-regulator” could roll back the state to boost innovation, said that while DOGE’s mission is salutary, he needs to see more details about how the commission would accomplish its goals. Because there is a lot of operational work needed, and actual negotiation to make things work.” Jennifer Pahlka, U.S. deputy chief technology officer under former President Barack Obama, offered qualified praise for the plan — but said Musk and Ramaswamy’s plan to fire large swaths of the bureaucracy is the wrong fix for a bigger structural problem.
