Well first of all, the CHIPS Act was not "axed", it is federal law passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority of the House and Senate. It would take a complete reversal of congress to repeal it and it's still very popular among both parties.

Where do you get your information from?

DOGE cut basically all staff from the CHIPS Program Office, congress passed the money but Trump is choosing to turn it into a slush-fund the admin spends on industrial policy (such as buying a stake in Intel). Wolfspeed went into bankruptcy in part because the admin delayed CHIPS funding agreed by the previous admin [1] (it's unclear whether they received the grant now that they have left it).

Once again, where do you get your information from? The only thing that doesn't exist anymore is DOGE itself.

Does eliminating DOGE magically put Humpty Dumpty back together again?

You hire someone to reqire a few outlets in your kitchen. They burn down half your house. You fire the crappy electrician.

What's the state of your house now?

If Doge disbanded but its actions haven't been undone, it doesn't matter if Doge doesn't exist anymore.

Just like executing a serial killer brings back all the victims, right? No harm done!
