Florida's Own DOGE Is Reviewing Faculty Research, Grants
Briefly

Elon Musk's influence over the DOGE initiative is diminishing as he plans to reduce his involvement significantly. Amidst financial difficulties for Tesla and political resistance, Musk's ambitious budget cuts have shrunk drastically, leading to concerns over DOGE's legacy. State-level adaptations of DOGE, like Iowa's DOGE Task Force and Florida's requests for public universities to disclose extensive research, indicate a broader trend of government efficiency initiatives. While these state iterations maintain a playful name, they pose serious implications for public institutions and governance.
The Florida DOGE team has requested public universities provide details about research published over the last six years, alarming many scholars.
Musk's proposed cuts have been reduced from $1 or $2 trillion to $150 billion, raising questions about the viability of DOGE.
