Despite Elon Musk’s departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the organization continues to maintain significant influence across federal agencies. The executive order that established DOGE created two entities: the United States DOGE Service, which transformed the former U.S. Digital Service, and the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, set to expire on July 4, 2026.
While Musk’s exit has affected DOGE’s status within the Trump administration, with some employees concerned about becoming collateral damage in the Trump-Musk feud, a wave of resignations within DOGE soon followed. Several of Musk’s key lieutenants have transitioned from special government employees to full-time positions within the General Services Administration.
