The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has enlisted the help of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to enhance operational efficiency. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy signed an agreement to collaborate on identifying areas for improvement amidst significant layoffs planned for the nearing future. DeJoy acknowledged the USPS's unsustainable business model and aims for core changes suggested by DOGE. Despite cutbacks, USPS remains well-regarded by the public, with a recent survey indicating high approval ratings, even as discussions about possible privatization run parallel to reform efforts.
In a letter sent to Congress, DeJoy explained that DOGE will "assist" USPS "in identifying and achieving further efficiencies" within the operation.
It has long been known that the Postal Service has a broken business model that was not financially sustainable without critically necessary and fundamental core change.
Despite the call for massive changes, USPS is the federal agency Americans view most favorably, second only to the National Parks Service.
DeJoy praised DOGE by saying, the "team was gracious enough to ask for the big problems they can help us with."
