Are the DOGE days over? Not so fast, says the White House…
Elon Musk announced his departure from the Department of Government Efficiency this week, leaving many wondering what will become of DOGE.
According to White House officials, the waste-cutting agency isn’t going anywhere.
After Musk’s departure, a senior White House official told Fox News Digital that DOGE is “part of the DNA of this federal government.”
The official added that DOGE now operates in “nearly every federal government agency department” with the “sole job” of cutting waste, fraud and abuse with the goal of efficiency.
“The DOGE employees at their respective agency or department will be reporting to and executing the agenda of the president through the leadership of each agency or department head,” the official said.
In a post on X, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller said, “The work DOGE has done to eliminate government waste and corruption — the rot embedded deep within Washington — is among the most valuable services ever rendered to government. And the work has only just begun.”

Musk posted on X on Wednesday, saying, “As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending. The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”
Musk’s work with DOGE resulted in an estimated $175 billion in savings. The savings amount to $1,086.96 per taxpayer, according to the website.
