DOGE Background and Musk's Role

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was established to reduce government spending and improve the efficiency of federal institutions. Musk took on this position under a special contract as a government consultant, promising to save two trillion dollars through radical reforms. However, the department faced sharp criticism due to the stringent measures it implemented, such as laying off thousands of employees, imposing political reviews on contracts, and canceling diversity and inclusion initiatives, which disrupted the operations of many federal agencies.
