The network of the Department of Government Efficiency consists of affiliates and allies associated with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the second presidency of Donald Trump. DOGE members entered or joined various federal agencies. They took control of information systems to facilitate mass layoffs. DOGE actions have met various responses, including lawsuits.
While Elon Musk promised full transparency, the identity of DOGE personnel has not been publicly disclosed; staffers revealed by investigative journalists were young coders without government experience. Roughly 40 affiliates are tied to Musk; others come from Silicon Valley, the Trump administration, and conservative law. In July 2025, ProPublica tracked down more than 100 DOGE members, of whom at least 23 made cuts at agencies regulating where they previously worked.
DOGE's structure has not been published. Leadership was also blurred: while Amy Gleason was named Acting Administrator and Steve Davis reportedly managed daily operations, Trump has described Musk as being "in charge", and a court has declared him de facto leader. Musk and his inner circle left DOGE at the end of May.
