NEW: Interviewed ex DOGE staffer who said:

* DOGE is likely to fizzle now that Musk is out. "It's like kids joining a startup that will go out of business in 4 months."

* Objectives at DOGE were unclear and communication poor. "I got dropped into the VA with an HP laptop. What are we supposed to do? What is the road map?...I felt like I was being pranked."

* Steve Davis ran day-to-day operations while Baris Akis helped with DOGE recruitment and logistics

* He was fired after speaking to media
