US EditionTrump’s Government Efficiency Department Disbands Eight Months Before Mandate Ends
The Department of Government Efficiency ended early amid unverifiable savings claims and political friction, with 211,000 federal jobs cut, according to the Partnership for Public Service.
- On Nov. 23, Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor confirmed DOGE 'does not have centralized leadership,' signaling its official disbandment after about a 10-month run, despite Trump's original plans.
- Created on President Donald Trump's first day in January, DOGE aimed to reduce spending and eliminate `waste, bloat, and insularity`, with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy initially tapped to lead.
- Within DOGE's first 100 days it pushed buyouts accepted by more than 75,000 workers and as of Nov. 23, DOGE claims it reached $214 billion in savings.
- Republican allies reacted with condolences while critics blamed `dark money NGOs` and political forces for Elon Musk’s departure earlier this summer, weakening DOGE’s leadership and momentum.
- Despite DOGE claiming the program was to end July 4, 2026, Scott Kupor said there is no formal target for reductions, and the hiring freeze is no longer in effect.
