The US DOGE Service, the repurposed government agency tasked with carrying out Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency agenda to cut a trillion dollars in federal spending, has reportedly lost access to a key government website responsible for distributing roughly $500 billion in annual awards, the latest blow to the initiative after Musk’s acrimonious split from the Trump administration earlier this month.
Earlier this year, DOGE reportedly assumed effective control of grants.gov, a clearinghouse for federal funding opportunities, requiring new proposals to be sent to a DOGE-controlled mailbox for review before being posted.
