Why is that? I would bet large sums of money that these guys will have a bright future ahead of them, much of it because of the goodwill they get from working for DOGE.
It all depends on how persistent the new american system is.
During the WW2 german occupation of France, there were some french people who opted to enthusiastically work to support the german side, and they certainly benefitted short term from the goodwill earned
At the end of the occupation, a lot of them were shot or hanged by the resistance
You say goodwill, we say “consulting” with companies that have directly benefited from their decisions and will benefit from their connections. Going from high positions in government into the post-government life of consulting and leadership positions is neither new nor indicative of the value of their work.

When the shit inevitably hits the fan from the massive amount of orgs they are dismantling, Musk and the DOGE will be used as a political scapegoat by Trump, that's how politics work.
And then from that, taking responsibility has never been Musk strongest point either, he'll push back the blame further to DOGE workers.
