Elon Musk Plays DOGE Ball-and Hits America's Geek Squad
Briefly

Under Donald Trump’s administration, the United States Digital Service (USDS) is being restructured to form the President's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, under Elon Musk's vision. This change moves DOGE from being an external body to an embedded one, emphasizing cost-saving measures through government IT infrastructure modernization. Although ambitious savings are anticipated, the initiative seems more focused on practicality rather than the original trillion-dollar ambition. The new program indicates stronger alignment with presidential objectives, signaling a shift in priorities for the USDS.

"The US Digital Service is evolving into a more strained relationship with government efficiency by implementing a vision influenced by Elon Musk, focusing on streamlining IT infrastructure."
