A former associate of the Department of
Government Efficiency says that he was
removed from DOGE after an interview where
he discussed his work was published earlier
this month.
Sahil Lavingia — an engineer, tech startup
founder and CEO of Gumroad, an e-commerce
platform for content creators — wrote in a
recent personal blog that he “got the boot”
from DOGE without warning the day after Fast
Company published an interview in which he
spoke about finding less inefficiencies than
he expected in the government during his DOGE
assignment as senior advisor to the chief of
staff at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
“I would say the culture shock is mostly a lot
of meetings, not a lot of decisions,” Lavingia
told Fast Company in the piece, which also
noted that he noticed the number of
mission-driven people working in government.
“But honestly, it’s kind of fine—because the
government works. It’s not as inefficient as I
was expecting, to be honest. I was hoping for
more easy wins.”
