The White House has formally dissolved the Department of Government Efficiency, known as D.O.G.E., before its scheduled charter end.

Origins and mandate

D.O.G.E. was created under former president Trump and initially led by Elon Musk, with a mandate to cut bureaucracy and reduce government spending.

Early termination

According to Reuters, the office was closed 8 months ahead of its charter expiry, with the agency officially disbanded on 23.11.2025.

Accountability and outputs

The unit never published comprehensive performance reports, and public claims about having saved billions remain unverified by independent documentation.

Internal state and staffing

Media reporting indicates that the project had long lacked clear internal structure and effective oversight, and that former employees have been reassigned across the administration.

Official statements

No new financial reconciliations or summary reports have been released to substantiate earlier savings estimates, and the closure ends the office’s formal activities.
