KEY POINTS
- •DOGE’s central office disappeared less than a year after Trump’s executive order created it in early 2025.
- •Scott Kupor of the Office of Personnel Management said DOGE’s goals continue influencing government decisions despite no central leadership.
- •DOGE staffers are still embedded in federal agencies, with 45 White House employees spared furloughs during the recent shutdown.
- •Elon Musk’s original plan had DOGE disband by July 4, 2026, but he stepped away to focus on private ventures.
Less than a year after Trump slapped the US Digital Service with an executive order and rebranded it DOGE (yes, officially named after the meme dog), the central office went poof — vanished without a trace. Scott Kupor from the Office of Personnel Management insists DOGE’s spirit pages through bureaucracy like a ghost, preaching de-regulation and efficiency while Elon Musk, the original DOGE visionary, wanders off to his private companies. Meanwhile, all 45 White House DOGE employees dodged furloughs during the government shutdown, proving DOGE is like that one office plant everyone forgets but somehow survives.
