The DOGE (DOGE), initially led by Elon Musk and established by Donald Trump, has been dissolved despite its extended mandate through July 2026. DOGE aimed to cut government spending by shrinking federal agencies and reallocating budgets toward Donald Trump's priorities but faced criticism for bypassing Congress and its opaque operations. After Elon Musk left Washington following a conflict with Donald Trump, the Office of Personnel Management assumed many of DOGE's responsibilities and confirmed the department no longer exists.
