Trump’s DOGE Agency Dissolved Early, Responsibilities Shifted to Others

TLDR

• The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was dissolved earlier than expected.
• Elon Musk stepped down as head of DOGE in May following a falling-out with President Trump.
• Other federal agencies have taken over the duties previously handled by DOGE.
• DOGE’s website remains active with claims of $214 billion in estimated government savings.
• The Trump administration has not formally announced the shutdown of DOGE.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), established during President Trump’s second term, has been dissolved. Scott Kupor, Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), confirmed that other federal agencies have taken over DOGE’s responsibilities. Despite being authorized through mid-2026, the agency is no longer active.

Musk’s Departure from DOGE Marks Key Moment in Its Decline

DOGE, initially led by Elon Musk, attracted attention as part of Trump’s effort to reduce federal bureaucracy. Musk stepped down as DOGE’s head in May after his status as a special government employee ended. The departure followed a falling-out between Musk and Trump, leading to the agency’s eventual collapse.

Despite these developments, DOGE’s official website remains online, with updates provided until October 4. The site claims $214 billion in government savings. The administration has yet to announce DOGE’s shutdown formally, but Trump now refers to the agency in the past tense.

Following the dissolution of DOGE, various agencies assumed responsibility for its tasks. This includes efforts to reduce inefficiencies and costs across the federal government. The shift has led to questions about the continued relevance of DOGE’s original mandate.
