Have you considered that DOGE is an opaque, unaccountable bureaucracy that is motivated to optimize for ragebait? Who don't seem to know the consequences of their actions, or have any skin in the game if they make mistakes? Who have been given alarmingly high level of control over some of the most sensitive pieces of information and governance of our government, and never made any effort to assure the public that they aren't acting carelessly? And for some of these services they have basically left broken, there is an obvious conflict of interest when Musk suggests that the government buys replacement services from him?

You're asking the people to act in good faith but it doesn't seem like DOGE either understands or cares that there are a lot of people who have basically had their contributions and service to the country basically shattered overnight, because Elon wants to get x amount of likes from a certain culture war faction.
