WASHINGTON, Nov 23 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency has disbanded with eight months left to its mandate, ending an initiative launched with fanfare as a symbol of Trump's pledge to slash the government's size but which critics say delivered few measurable savings."That doesn't exist," Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor told Reuters earlier this month when asked about DOGE's status.
It is no longer a "centralized entity," Kupor added, in the first public comments from the Trump administration on the end of DOGE.The agency, set up in January, made dramatic forays across Washington in the early months of Trump's second term to rapidly shrink federal agencies, cut their budgets or redirect their work to Trump priorities. The OPM, the federal government's human resources office, has since taken over many of DOGE's functions, according to Kupor and documents reviewed by Reuters.At least two prominent DOGE employees are now involved with the National Design Studio, a new body created through an executive order signed by Trump in August.

Weren't we all supposed to get $5000 from all the money they saved?
Where's my money?!?!
Someday we are going to find out how much the chaos actually costed tax payers.
indeed
I'll see if I can find it, but one of the news agency's dug into everything DOGE did and came out to a savings of around $2 million. Of course there are still a bunch of wrongful termination lawsuits ongoing, so the final result will probably be less. Nothing even remotely close to the claimed $2 trillion.
How about when the next admin comes in and replaces those 'savings' with bodies to get the work done again?
