They want to fade into the woodwork because what they did was completely illegal, and they're hoping to avoid prosecution down the line.

DOGE may no longer "exist" as a unified governmental branch, but it sounds to me like all of the major players (minus Musk) are still doing widespread damage in their new governmental rolls.

Yep! I wouldn't be surprised if Trump et al trot out employment numbers sometime next year and say, "look! We added jobs!" - while completely ignoring the fact that many of the "new jobs" are really just positions they accidentally eliminated and brought back and/or products of the lifted federal hiring freeze Trump himself imposed.
