The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been quietly disbanded with eight months left in its charter, according to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) director.
Kupor said that DOGE is no longer the “centralized entity” it once was when Trump appointed Musk to lead the agency in January, the news agency reported on Sunday.
“The truth is: DOGE may not have centralized leadership under the [U.S. DOGE Service] But, the principles of DOGE remain alive and well: de-regulation; eliminating fraud, waste and abuse; re-shaping the federal workforce; making efficiency a first-class citizen," Kupor wrote on X.
He added that the OPM and the Office of Management and Budget would "institutionalize" the changes made by DOGE.
While DOGE did not deliver the savings it promised, it caused chaos and upended lives in the U.S. and abroad.
At the Social Security Administration, DOGE cutbacks in the name of efficiency led to severe delays in processing claims.
Some of DOGE’s initiatives, including the government-wide hiring freeze, have also ended, according to Kupor’s interview with Reuters. »
