The network of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) consists of personnel, allies, and associates appointed during the second presidency of Donald Trump to implement his government efficiency initiative. DOGE membership has been consistently obfuscated by the administration. The identity of its members was revealed by investigative journalists, which Musk described as doxing. Many of them were young coders without government experience. Roughly 40 DOGE members worked for Musk; the broader network also includes allies from Silicon Valley, the Trump administration and conservative legal circles. In July, ProPublica tracked down more than 100 DOGE members; at least 23 of them were making cuts at agencies that regulate where they previously worked.
DOGE's structure has not officially been published. Leadership was also blurred: while Amy Gleason was named Acting Administrator and Steve Davis reportedly managed daily operations, Elon Musk has been described by Trump as being "in charge", and a court has declared him the "DOGE leader". In April 2025, Musk declared he would work on DOGE remotely, months after declaring his intent to ban remote work for federal workers. Musk and Davis left DOGE at the end of May.
Members of the network entered or joined various federal agencies. DOGE took control of information systems to facilitate mass layoffs. Actions from its members have met various responses, including lawsuits.
