Elon Musk may be gone but DOGE isn't done remaking the federal government
Briefly

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is transitioning to a new phase with its leader Elon Musk stepping down. The Trump administration continues to support DOGE's mission of transforming federal bureaucracy to align with its vision, emphasizing efficiency. Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, indicated that DOGE employees are increasingly becoming institutionalized within agencies, taking roles akin to in-house consultants. This shift includes firing workers, cancelling contracts, and embedding staff across the federal government, aiming for continued impact in reducing inefficiencies and restructuring practices.
Russell Vought emphasized that DOGE's integration into government aims for more institutionalized operations, describing staff as in-house consultants at agency leadership levels who focus on remaking federal bureaucracy.
President Trump and the Administration stress commitment to diminishing waste, fraud, and abuse in federal government operations, aligning with the ethos of DOGE.
