Treasury officials and political appointees within the Trump administration are expressing concerns over disruptions caused by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This has resulted in unease among senior officials, as key decisions regarding cuts to grants and contracts were made without prior consultation. Although these sweeping measures align with President Trump's goal of shrinking government, agency heads feel blindsided and burdened with undoing or justifying the repercussions of DOGE's actions. Civil servants are worried about layoffs and the legality of new policies being enforced.
"Senior officials are irritated and blindsided by Elon Musk's aggressive tactics to reshape the federal government, causing deep concern among civil servants across various departments."
"The sweeping actions of DOGE have caught agency heads off-guard, causing them to reverse or answer for cuts they were unaware of."
