The survey results showed that 51 percent of respondents responded “yes”, while 41 percent selected “f yes”, and 8 percent voted “no.”
The initiative is aligned with the broader efforts of Musk to reform federal agencies through Doge, which has led since he was appointed “special employee of the government” by President Donald Trump.
According to its website, Dege aims to “decentralize the narrative around government spending, returning power to people to hold government entities for their financial decisions.”
Dege has already taken control of key financial operations, including the payment system of the Treasury Department, which manages social security and Medicare disbursements.
The organization claims to have saved the federal government $ 1 billion per day through the freezing of hiring, eliminating diversity initiatives and stopping payments to foreign organizations.
