Donald Trump: 我对埃隆·马斯克赞赏有加，他是一位伟大的商人，为政府带来了改革。他领导的DOGE部门取消了数百万美元的浪费性开支，这仅仅是个开始。我相信他将继续以朋友和顾问的身份支持我的政府。
Elon Musk: 我很荣幸能为特朗普总统工作，并期待继续担任他的朋友和顾问。我将继续支持Doge团队，并努力减少浪费和欺诈，以造福美国纳税人。我认为美国国际开发署的性价比不高，且其行为不道德。
Gary O'Donoghue: 特朗普对马斯克给予了高度评价，但马斯克削减开支的实际效果有待考量。虽然马斯克声称削减了大量开支，但BBC的分析显示，只有一部分有具体说明和文件支持。此外，马斯克的离开可能会削弱政府内部的改革动力，因为特朗普政府周围的人更倾向于同意他的观点。
