The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), despite its name, is not a governmental organization. It is a non-governmental organization created by President-elect Donald J. Trump to give advice on reducing the size and wastefulness of the executive branch of the United States government.[1]
DOGE will be lead by centibillionaire Elon Musk and the billionaire entreprenour Vivek Ramaswamy.[1]
DOGE is supposed to expire on 4 July 2026, which is the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.[1]
Congressional relations
DOGE House subcommittee
James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, announced the formation of a new GOP-controlled "Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE)" subcommittee, in the next Congress. Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia will be the chair person of the new subcommittee.[2] Greene said, "The goal of DOGE is to bring accountability and GUT useless government agencies."[3]
Republican Congressman Jodey Arrington of Texas, Chairman of the House Budget Committee, commented:
“This country desperately needs bold leadership to restore fiscal sanity in our nation’s capital and reverse the curse of a looming debt crisis.
Thankfully, the American people are returning President Donald J. Trump to the Oval Office. I'm thrilled by President Trump’s decision to appoint Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the desperately needed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and look forward to working with them to right-size the bloated bureaucracy and rein-in wasteful Washington spending.
It’s time to go to work and deliver on the mandate from the American people - with help from Elon and Vivek, I like our chances!”[4]
Senate DOGE Caucus
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) will take charge of a new Senate DOGE Caucus, which will work with the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Musk and Ramaswamy.[5]
