New Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Established.
The 47th President of the United States has issued an executive order establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This initiative, outlined in a White House statement released Tuesday, aims to modernize federal technology and software to enhance governmental efficiency and productivity.
A key component of this reorganization involves the renaming of the United States Digital Service (USDS) to the United States DOGE Service (USDS), firmly positioning it within the Executive Office of the President. The executive order specifies that this agency will be integral to implementing the President’s “DOGE Agenda.”
Elon Musk, prominent entrepreneur and reportedly a key figure within DOGE, has commented on the initiative, stating his expectation of “meaningful progress every week.” The establishment of DOGE signals a significant shift in the administration’s approach to federal operations and technological infrastructure.
