DOGE is done.

The Department of Government Efficiency, which aimed to cut federal bloat and was spearheaded by Tesla boss Elon Musk during his time at the White House, has been closed down by President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a Reuters report on Sunday.

“That doesn’t exist,” office of personnel management (OPM) director Scott Kupor told the outlet earlier this month, when he was asked about DOGE.

Kupor added DOGE was no longer a “centralized entity” — it’s more of an idea now.

DOGE’s scrapping comes after it was started on President Trump’s first day back in Washington, D.C. earlier this year.
