DOGE Is Gone: Trump and Musk’s Federal Overhaul Quietly Collapses 8 Months Early

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), established by executive order under a hypothetical Trump administration to streamline bureaucracy and cut $6.5 trillion in federal spending, has been quietly dissolved by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) eight months before its scheduled end in July 2026. OPM director Scott Kupor confirmed that DOGE no longer exists as a centralized entity, with its functions shifting into OPM. The initiative, which gained attention and briefly boosted the Dogecoin cryptocurrency, faced turmoil after Elon Musk departed Washington in May and tensions reportedly rose between Trump and Musk. DOGE claimed billions in savings through aggressive cost-cutting and contract terminations, but lacked concrete, verifiable evidence of true efficiency improvements. Concerns also linger among former employees regarding potential legal consequences from the department's aggressive measures. Despite the dissolution of the government entity, the associated cryptocurrency token continues to trade, showing a recent price increase.
