Musk's new agency has actively taken up work in the US
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) claims it is already saving the US government $1 billion a day and will increase that figure to $3 billion a day, according to a statement from the agency in X.
“DOGE saves the federal government about $1 billion per day, primarily by stopping unnecessary hiring, eliminating DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs, and ending unwarranted payments to foreign organizations – all in line with the president’s executive orders,” the department noted.
"A great start, but we need to increase this figure to more than $3 billion per day," the report says.
Recall that Elon Musk was appointed by US President Donald Trump as head of an agency called Doge – Department of Government Efficiency. As previously specified by NBC News, despite the name, DOGE will not be a full-fledged ministry within the federal government – the creation of such an agency requires the approval of the US Congress. Trump stated that Doge will “provide recommendations and advice from outside.”
By the way, despite Musk's desire to have an office near the Oval Office, Doge's leadership will be based in the Eisenhower Executive Office, although The New York Times previously reported that Musk would get an office next to Trump.
Elon Musk has reportedly become a diplomatic headache for Europe. European leaders are wary of criticizing the entrepreneur for fear of damaging relations with US President-elect Donald Trump.
Elon Musk, having received the support of President Donald Trump, is already interfering in the work of the US federal government. He has gained control over key agencies, financial systems and personnel policies. This has drawn criticism from Congress and civil society organizations, which warn of an unprecedented conflict of interest and a threat to democratic institutions. We retell the main points from the article by The New York Times about how Musk is changing the US government system
In his first weeks on the job, Elon Musk and the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) he heads gained access to sensitive financial and digital systems, ignored protocols and removed officials who warned about the violations. Federal employees were bombarded with messages urging them to quit their jobs, hinting at their “laziness.”
Musk has launched an aggressive war against the federal bureaucracy, writes The New York Times, emphasizing that his actions “have already affected the work of at least six agencies, jeopardizing the constitutional oversight of Congress and the protection of civil service.”
