Network of the Department of Government Efficiency

20 DOGE employees work at the [[Eisenhower Executive Office Building The network of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) consists of personnel, allies, and Elon Musk associates appointed during the second presidency of Donald Trump to implement his government efficiency initiative. DOGE's leadership is ambiguous: while Amy Gleason was named Acting Administrator and Steve Davis reportedly managed daily operations, Elon Musk (formerly an official special government employee with limited formal authority) has been described by Trump as being "in charge", and a court has declared him the "DOGE leader". In April 2025, Musk declared he would work on DOGE remotely, months after declaring his intent to ban remote work for federal workers. Musk and Davis left DOGE at the end of May.

Musk said in March 2025 that there are around 100 employees and that he planned to double the staff. Many of the employees, informally called "DOGE kids", are software engineers aged between 19 and 24 and without prior government experience. At least 23 DOGE officials are making cuts at agencies that regulate where they previously worked. The broader network also includes allies from Silicon Valley, the Trump administration and conservative legal circles. Roughly 40 DOGE members are currently or were previously employed by Musk and his companies. DOGE's structure has not officially been published, and the identity of DOGE members was revealed by investigative journalists, which Musk described as doxxing. DOGE's workforce is controversial, with concerns over its transparency, potential conflicts of interest, information security, and members' past conduct or affiliations. Many DOGE members made financial contributions to the Trump campaign. While the White House Presidential Personnel Office made political loyalty to Trump a cornerstone of its hiring strategy, DOGE employees were onboarded through a separate Musk-led process. Following the Trump–Musk feud, ''Politico'' described the General Services Administration and the Office of Personnel Management as two agencies that remain "DOGE strongholds".

Members of the network entered or joined various federal agencies. They took control of information systems to facilitate mass layoffs. Their actions have met various responses, including lawsuits. Provided by Wikipedia
