In a provocative twist that has ignited fierce debate among political pundits and fiscal watchdogs alike, billionaire Elon Musk has drawn a striking parallel between his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and a nearly forgotten initiative launched by former President Barack Obama.

Musk’s caption read simply, “Sounds exactly like DOGE,” a remark that has left critics and supporters scrambling to reassess the historical roots and modern implications of federal spending reforms.
