Tech billionaire Elon Musk said that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has not been as effective as he would like but noted its efforts may continue for the remainder of the Trump administration.
In an interview with Axios on April 30, the Tesla CEO said that DOGE was going to cease to exist on July 4, 2026, but that it may last until the end of 2028, which would line up with the end of President Donald Trump’s term. An order issued by Trump on Jan. 20 said that the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization “shall terminate” on July 4 of next year.
