《 DOGE's Death 》
This may be the most enlightening moment of the current U.S. government so far: no press conference, no victory parade, and none of that iconic "mission accomplished".
Only a bland statement: DOGE is no longer "existing as a centralized entity"; its functions have been merged into OPM.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aimed at "cutting waste, cutting agencies, cutting redundancies", was prematurely "euthanized" with 8 months remaining until the original expiration date of July 2026.
Translated, it means: the pragmatic political novice Musk lost, and bureaucracy won.
This special task force led by Musk and top minds was once expected to excise the rotten flesh of the U.S. government. In just a few months, they not only identified hundreds of billions of dollars in savings but also did something that truly terrifies most Western countries—transparency.
When citizens first clearly see the federal organizational chart, see those DEI coordinators making six-figure salaries while not overseeing anything, and see those absurd redundant projects, the game was actually over.
The real "crime" of DOGE was never incompetence, but rather its excessive honesty.
The system could not tolerate this rot being made public. So, when political pressure became too great, and vested interests began to use leaks, legal battles, and stall tactics to fight back, the White House chose political survival over structural reform. Faced with a mirror reflecting the ugly truth, the system did what it only knows how to do—shatter the mirror.
Now, they tell us DOGE has been "absorbed" by OPM and OMB. Don't be foolish; throwing piranhas into a goldfish bowl is not called ecological balance; chopping up piranhas to feed goldfish is called expensive fish feed.
This is a surrender. Those who truly worked day and night to efficiently identify the waste of bureaucrats coasting along were dismissed, while those who spent decades creating waste preserved their budgets and anonymity.
Rest in peace, D.O.G.E.
You lasted 10 months, which is longer than I previously expected, but for changing this massive machine, it's about the same amount of time it takes politicians to fart.
Hope you don't ruin my $DOGE , damn Trump
