DOGE Dissolves: How Elon Musks Government Efficiency Agency Reshaped Federal Bureaucracy and Workforce in Unprecedented Overhaul
Listeners, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, once billed as a revolutionary force to streamline Washington bureaucracy, has seemingly vanished from DC at breakneck speed. DOGE, championed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy with direct endorsement from President Trump, bulldozed through federal spending, payrolls, and regulations, promising massive efficiency and swifter government services according to Reuters and Fortune. Officials originally likened DOGE’s early work, including controversial deep cuts to foreign aid and federal payrolls, to the Manhattan Project in its ambition.
Yet after months of headline-grabbing shakeups—like the dismissal of 17 inspectors general soon after Trump’s inauguration and sweeping layoffs that exceeded 300,000 federal employees, far surpassing public service reduction goals—the agency appears to have been quietly dissolved eight months ahead of schedule. The Office of Personnel Management’s Director Scott Kupor told Reuters that DOGE no longer exists as a centralized entity. Instead, many of its functions and key players are scattered throughout major agencies: Health and Human Services, State, and the White House Budget Office.
DOGE left an outsized imprint. Its deregulatory blitz, powered by AI analysis tools, attempted to erase more than 100,000 regulations, slash discretionary spending, and consolidate hundreds of agencies down to what Musk called “99 is more than enough.” Among the biggest targets: the Social Security Administration, Treasury, and HHS, which together account for nearly two-thirds of government expenditures. Critics, including the Partnership for Public Service, argue that headline savings—DOGE’s website claims $214 billion—are inflated and that related legal costs and lost revenue from IRS staff cuts undermine the net value.
The aftershocks of DOGE’s policies linger, notably in workforce reductions—more than 317,000 left government jobs this year, against 68,000 new hires—prompting uncertainty about service delivery, transparency, and data privacy. The Supreme Court recently ruled that DOGE’s broad access to sensitive Social Security data was legal, attracting further scrutiny and lawsuits.
As of now, while Musk’s role is unclear and DOGE as a brand is gone, many of its efficiency mandates persist baked into daily government operations, with agencies like OPM and WHOMB adopting the principles Musk set in motion.
