President Trump thanked Musk &#8220;and all of his people&#8221; at the time, saying, &#8220;almost all of them are staying, and they&#8217;re going to be with us. And you&#8217;re going to see the results coming long into the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Musk pledged upon his departure that &#8220;this is not the end of DOGE, but really the beginning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Tesla CEO began the cost-cutting effort in January and had initially pledged to cut $2 trillion of government spending, but later lowered the benchmark to $1 trillion. At the time of Musk&#8217;s departure, the White House <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-elon-musk-appear-as-doge-leader-exits-washington\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">said<\/a><\/span> DOGE&#8217;s efforts saved roughly $170 billion in spending. But that figure has been disputed, with a number of errors and miscalculations on the initiative&#8217;s &#8220;wall of receipts.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since Musk left the role, DOGE has continued to post about its cost cutting. A recent <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/doge-claims-slashing-costs-cbs-news-analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">review by CBS News<\/a><\/span> found that the claims about savings appear to be significantly overstated. Still, Musk pledged when he left the job that DOGE is &#8220;like a way of life&#8221; and would be &#8220;permeating throughout the government&#8221; to secure $1 trillion in savings &#8220;over time.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Vought outlined at a House Appropriations Committee hearing in June that the vision for DOGE going forward would be &#8220;far more institutionalized at the actual agency,&#8221; saying many DOGE employees are functioning &#8220;almost as in-house consultants as a part of the agency&#8217;s leadership.&#8221; The leadership of DOGE, Vought said, is &#8220;now much more decentralized.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For some, questions have remained about how the effort would continue to shape government agencies. Writing to Vought and Kupor, the Democratic lawmakers sought answers to a number of questions, including who currently leads DOGE and queries about the presence of DOGE employees within the federal government more broadly.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmakers said that converting DOGE appointees to career federal service roles could &#8220;potentially run afoul of laws that explicitly ban political considerations and loyalty tests in hiring practices,&#8221; adding that &#8220;it is unclear who newly embedded DOGE staff are accountable to and if they truly serve within the chain of command of the agencies they work for.&#8221; They urged OPM to enforce civil service regulations &#8220;that prohibit political patronage in government hiring.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!--
