Trump’s DOGE Disbanded 8 Months Early, Functions Now Absorbed By Office of Personnel Management
The Trump administration’s ambitious Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), initially led by Elon Musk, was designed to streamline the federal government by cutting wasteful spending and reducing workforce size. Despite its early fanfare and dramatic agency downsizing including the layoff of over 200,000 federal employees, DOGE has been quietly disbanded eight months before its official end date. The Office of Personnel Management now handles many of DOGE’s responsibilities, and former DOGE officials have moved to key roles within the government. While the unit itself no longer exists, the administration continues efforts toward deregulation and efficiency, employing modern AI technologies to revamp government operations.
