00:30A secretive government unit, created by Trump, led by Elon Musk, armed with chainsaws and
00:36billion-dollar budget cuts, has vanished.
00:39No announcement, no ceremony, no explanation.
00:43Tonight we uncover how DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, collapsed from Trump's
00:48super agency into silence.
00:51In January, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating the Department
00:57of Government Efficiency, better known as DOGE, a bold, aggressive force meant to slash budgets,
01:03shake up federal agencies, and bring what Trump called efficiency through innovation.
01:09Elon Musk, a close Trump ally at the time, was appointed to lead DOGE.
01:15He promoted it relentlessly online, even holding up a chainsaw at CPAC, calling it the Chainsaw
01:20for Bureaucracy.
01:22DOGE claimed he'd saved tens of billions of dollars in its first months.
01:29But now, with eight months still left on its mandate, DOGE is gone.
01:43No press release.
01:44No official shutdown.
01:45No Musk.
01:46No Musk.
01:47This month, OPM director Scott Kupor finally confirmed it.
01:51That doesn't exist.
01:52Kupor said DOGE is no longer a centralized entity.
01:56Translation?
01:57It is quietly dissolved into other federal agencies.
02:01Signs of DOGE's collapse appeared early.
02:04Acting Administrator Amy Gleason shifted her work to Health and Human Services by March.
02:09DOGE staff began migrating to a new initiative called the National Design Studio, led by Airbnb
02:15co-founder Joe Gebbia.
02:17Its mission?
02:18To beautify government websites.
02:20A far cry from DOGE's original Chainsaw for Bureaucracy ambitions.
02:25Meanwhile, Trump's hiring freeze, a signature DOGE policy, has ended.
02:29Kupor confirmed, quote, there is no target around reductions anymore.
02:34And then came the biggest blow, a very public rupture between Trump and Elon Musk.
02:40In May, Musk publicly attacked Trump's tax and spending bill, calling it a disaster that
02:46undermined DOGE's work.
02:48Trump fired back, openly threatening consequences.
02:51The feud erupted, and Musk walked away, from DOGE, from Washington, and from the administration.
02:57Weeks later, he launched the America Party, solidifying the brink.
03:02Without Musk, DOGE lost its architect, its momentum, and its political shield.
03:19Today, DOGE is gone, but the White House insists Trump's mission continues.
03:24Spokeswoman Liz Hostin said,
03:26President Trump remains committed to cutting waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government.
03:31But without DOGE's centralized force, the work is now scattered across multiple departments.
03:37And the quiet shutdown raises the question, was DOGE a revolutionary idea, or just political theater?
03:45A high-profile agency launched with chainsaws and bravado, disappearing without a trace.
03:51DOGE promised to reinvent government, but in Washington, even revolutionary ideas can dissolve overnight.
03:58This story is still unfolding, and we'll keep following where the facts lead.
