US EditionA look back at DOGE's first 100 days
- During the initial months of President Trump’s return to the White House, Elon Musk headed the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency , focusing on cutting federal expenditures and downsizing the government.
- Trump granted Musk extensive control over efforts to reduce the size of the federal government as part of an agenda to cut the deficit, although the initial savings goals were repeatedly lowered from $2 trillion to $150 billion.
- DOGE claimed $160 billion in spending cuts largely by canceling contracts and dismissing tens of thousands of workers, but these claims face criticism for overstatement and secrecy.
