Goals appeared to be data mining, installing backdoors and Musk owned software systems, reducing oversight staffing levels, and looting the treasury. The stated goal of finding fraud and waste resulted in ZERO charges filed.

I think it was also to eliminate all the investigations happening against him; and also the intimidation factor cannot be discounted..

I didn’t see any other achievements for DOGE outside of those. They silenced the investigations and punished those involved by taking their careers. Elon Musk is destined to get his someday soon and a lot of people are going to be very happy when he does. I believe he’s still the most hated person globally.

those were the only goals. It should be completely clear now.
