Statement by Trump administration confirms longstanding suspicions that Musk-led agency is on its way out

The “department of government efficiency” (DOGE) has apparently been dissolved with eight months still remaining on its contract, ending a drawn-out campaign of invading federal agencies and firing thousands of federal workers.

“That doesn’t exist,” office of personnel management (OPM) director Scott Kupor told Reuters earlier this month when asked about Doge’s status, adding that it was no longer a “centralized entity”.

The statement confirmed longstanding suspicions that Doge, created by an executive order that Donald Trump signed on his first day, was on its way out. The tech billionaire Elon Musk and the former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy were tapped to lead the effort and were expected to drive “large scale structural reform” through 24 July 2026.

    We need a president who runs the country like a business, i.e. creates a front, scams everyone, then shutters the company to avoid accountability.

      Ehhhh… Elections are largely done at the state/county level. Not sure what there would be to scrub with the feds that wouldn’t already be in the hands of the states.

    I’m going to guess that means the DOGE people are basically integrated into their respective agencies.
