Elon Musk will not completely withdraw from the so-called Ministry of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and its activities are only intensifying. On Friday, President Donald Trump’s idea that Musk will disappear forever. “Elon really didn’t leave,” Trump said at a joint press conference with Musk. “He’s going to go back and forth. This is his kid and he’s going to do a lot of things.”
“I hope to continue to provide advice,” Musk said in a press conference on Friday. He wore a black hat with a horse’s head hat with a “Dogefather” on it. “I want to be a friend and a consultant.”
Federal workers from at least six agencies told Wired that Doge Style’s job is upgrading its department.
According to sources, the new and familiar ticket face also recently detailed the new agency. Members of Musk’s early governor’s team, including Luke Farritor, Gavin Kliger, Edward Coristine and Sam Corcos, met with many departments and agencies – including the Treasury Department, the Office of Management and Budget, and the FBI – in recent days, seemingly in recent days, seemingly in the ongoing business.
According to documents viewed by Wired, the team appears to be actively recruiting.
Last week, federal workers were also asked to review urgently and potentially cancel contracts across the government. Trump appears to have reviewed the contract at a press conference on Friday: “Many contracts, Elon, are looking at it now,” he said.
Wired learned that some agencies also received visits from the headquarters.
“It doesn’t sound like a disappearing group, it sounds like a person digging like a parasite,” the IT expert at the Department of Agriculture (USDA) told Wired.
Since Doge first started working in Washington in late January, its representatives have been eager to cut down what they believe is excess spending in the government. In recent weeks, pressure on cutting and canceling contracts, with a particular focus on labor management, IT pressure has increased significantly, various agencies told Wired.
A tech worker at the Ministry of the Interior (DOI) told Wired, “The biggest thing is that we are being asked to cut down on software and labor as many contracts as possible.
“We are cutting developers, telecoms, server administrators, call center staff, etc.,” the DOI source said. “Some things are swelling and may use cuts. Other things will suffer losses and our services to the public will be downgraded.”
Employees of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and all agencies under its protection have been told that the contract must undergo a new approval process called the Departmental Efficiency Review (DER). Under a procedure regarding WIRED acquisition, any application or contract approval will be suspended until the worker submits the form to initiate the DER’s form and the Office of the Deputy Secretary for Review of Funds. The email also noted that the review will mark any contract that seems expensive and overly overdoing.
