Sahil Lavingia was a member of DOGE at the Department of Veterans Affairs .

He describes the organization as "disorganized," with little information sharing across different teams.

Musk has spent the last few weeks saying that he is leaving his DogE duties behind.

Two of his closest lieutenants, Steve Davis and Nicole Hollander , appear to be departing as well.

DOGE was a way for the Trump administration to distance itself from unpopular decisions.

Without Musk and Davis , Lavingia says he has “no idea’s what direction DOGe will take.” And as for the young engineers who followed Musk into government, “I assume they’ll leave soon too,” he says.
