U.S. Government Efficiency Office to Be Dissolved; Official Says Remarks Misinterpreted | WPN World People News

Scott Kupor, Director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), recently confirmed in an interview that the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE)—established by President Donald Trump at the beginning of his term and led by Elon Musk—is set to be dissolved. He noted that DOGE is no longer a “centralized entity,” and that some of its functions have been taken over by OPM. However, Kupor later clarified on social media that the Reuters report had taken his remarks out of context, stressing that DOGE remains operational and continues to advance deregulation efforts and combat fraud and waste.

DOGE was created in January, with Trump declaring its mission to pursue “major structural reforms,” including budget cuts and the elimination of bureaucratic agencies, and was originally slated to operate through July 2026. Musk co-led the office with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, but resigned after only four months due to friction with White House officials and public criticism of Trump’s policies. Following his departure, the office’s future came under scrutiny, and some staff members began leaving or seeking new positions.

Reports from Reuters and other media outlets indicate that Trump has recently referred to DOGE in the past tense, and staff have been gradually transferring to other government entities, including the newly established “National Design Studio” launched in August. Acting director Amy Gleason also moved in March to become an adviser at the Department of Health and Human Services. Although no formal dissolution has been announced, many observers believe DOGE has steadily faded from the center of government operations.
