The U.S. DOGE Service, the cost-cutting effort spearheaded by entrepreneur Elon Musk that disbanded numerous federal and aid programs in a failed effort to cut trillions in government spending, marked what it said was the end of its official work over Independence Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the formal mission of DOGE has come to an end, the mission to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse will continue,\u201d DOGE said in a post on X. \u201cIt has been our greatest honor to serve the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n

DOGE, which stands for Department of Government Efficiency, had been established in the place of what was previously the United States Digital Service, which had been dedicated to advancing the federal government\u2019s technological offerings and digital infrastructure. An executive order<\/a> on the first day of President Donald Trump\u2019s second term laid out DOGE\u2019s timeline, what it called an \u201c18-month DOGE agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization shall terminate on July 4, 2026,\u201d it said.<\/p>

Musk, who departed<\/a> the federal government a little more than a year ago, oversaw much of DOGE\u2019s work, though he did not officially serve as its administrator.<\/p>\n

In its X post, DOGE said, \u201cGood stewardship of taxpayer dollars and accountable government are not temporary initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n
