According to BlockBeats, internal records and sources indicate that at least eight core employees from the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have departed. Over the past six months, access to the sixth floor of the U.S. General Services Administration headquarters, where DOGE is based under the leadership of Elon Musk, required clearance by an armed guard. Only individuals on a pre-approved list were allowed entry. However, the guard has now been removed, and the 'Authorized Personnel Only' sign near the elevator is no longer present.
The focus of DOGE has shifted from the high-profile dismissals of employees in its early months to more strategic tasks. Recent efforts include eliminating redundant government websites and phone lines, canceling unused software licenses, and collaborating with the National Weather Service to upgrade the national weather broadcast system. Additionally, DOGE is developing a new initiative called AI.gov, aimed at accelerating government innovation through artificial intelligence.
