Tensions between the White House and a group of Elon Musk supporters have escalated in recent weeks, with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) at the center of the political struggle. After Musk's departure from the federal agency, he and President Donald Trump clashed over policies and spending priorities.

According to an exclusive report by the Wall Street Journal published on Wednesday, a determined faction of Musk supporters is strengthening the Tesla CEO's influence in DOGE following his departure.

Internal meetings at DOGE reportedly included loyalty tests, where employees were asked to choose sides between Trump and Musk. According to informed sources, these conversations led to internal conflict within the already thinning ranks of the agency.

It has been reported that White House representatives are downplaying DOGE's role in government operations, sources said. Steve Davis maintains Musk's connection to DOGE.
Musk's influence in DOGE depends on Steve Davis, his longtime associate who left the agency in May. He no longer holds an official position in the agency, but Davis is "close" to DOGE employees, communicating with them via Signal and phone.

Some current and former DOGE employees believe that Elon’s allies could form a vision for a second version of the agency, DOGE 2.0, which would abandon cuts to government positions and focus on modernizing federal IT infrastructure.

Others, especially in the upper echelons of the Washington administration, have argued that Musk is stuck in DOGE because he is trying to "protect his business interests." During his time in government, Musk supported hiring employees from his companies — SpaceX, Tesla, and X — in federal agencies. For instance, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that it is testing Starlink connections in several states.

Originally part of Trump's most popular second-term policy, DOGE has become a political problem for the White House, which now claims it has not delivered on its promises of cost savings.

According to DOGE's website, this spending oversight body has saved $190 billion through budget cuts. However, some economists from various political circles doubt the accuracy of this figure.

Trump and Musk continue to argue about fiscal policy
Trump's disappointment in Elon reached a peak after the billionaire publicly criticized his tax and spending bill signed by the president last week.

"Maybe we'll have to apply DOGE to Elon," Trump quipped to reporters at a press conference. "You know what DOGE is? DOGE is a monster that may have to come back and eat Elon."
For several weeks, Musk has hinted at creating a new political party — the "American Party," backing his attacks on Trump's policies on social media.

On the weekend of July 4, Musk praised Republican Thomas Massie for opposing the "Big Beautiful Bill," adding that he "regrets" having led DOGE.
"What the hell is the point of DOGE if [Trump] is just going to increase the national debt by $5 trillion??" Musk wrote on X last Saturday.

White House spokesman Harrison Fields defended the administration's efforts to improve efficiency, stating: "Many presidents have promised, but no one except President Trump has delivered on promises to make government more efficient and eradicate waste, fraud, and abuse."

Musk supports DOGE employees
On June 10, Elon joined Davis and chief advisor Katie Miller, wife of Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, for an in-person meeting with DOGE employees. The trio reportedly reassured employees of Musk's support and urged them not to give up.

At the end of June, Davis and Gebbia met with White House Chief of Staff Suzy Wiles to discuss the future of DOGE. Their proposal included upgrading publicly accessible government websites, such as the revamped national parks portal.
