Before Donald Trump returned to the White House last month, it seems that his major donor plan, Elon Musk, to reduce trillion dollars in the US government spending consisting of more than just a slogan of a dog wearing sunglasses, and a group of provocative social media pillars.

But behind the scenes, the richest man in the world has recruited the technology executives quietly and a large number of young programmers, who will provide a quick treatment to one of the largest bureaucracy in the world.

Envokers from the Ministry of Governmental Efficiency in Musk infiltrated the main agencies, launched or suspended tens of thousands of civil service employees, and resulted in access to materials of security, health and sensitive money.

Although it is a branch that is reshaped at the White House, Dog officials have installed themselves within the federal government: in the US Treasury, Health and State Department, Federal Aviation Administration, and a group of smaller bodies – with some sleep in building federalism. A full agency worth $ 40 billion, USAID, is closed with the cancellation of contracts, and its workforce is scheduled to be reduced from 10,000 to about 600 employees.

In the shock of senior legislators, DOGE staff began checking transfers worth trillion dollars, and reached social security numbers, bank account details and even health records of American citizens.

No information has been provided to Congress or the public about who was officially appointed under Dog [or] Under any Doug’s authority or regulations, “eight Democratic Senate members protested this week.

In Washington, DC, this week, members of the Democratic Congress joined protests against musk outside the Treasury. Some carried signs that say “the coup stop” and “no one elected musk.”

Dog’s rapid progress even his first supporters. “Dog is doing things that we have never been able to understand,” says James Fishak, the investor who advised the body after its formation in November. “They are acting quickly, and they are acting urgently.”

But the destructive destructive consequences to take a heavy hammer into many major agencies have become clear, as they left HIV without being done in South Africa and other places, and clinical experiences that save life, and the critical government sites that abandoned and outside.

“We do not have a fourth branch of the government called Elon Musk,” says Jimmy Raskin, a member of the Democratic Congress. “The attacks on the civil service – from air traffic monitors to food and drug inspectors – aims to destroy the power of Congress, which is the power of the people.”

Mutating musk In the most prominent of the so -called technicians in the Silicon Valley, who believe that government regulations hinder innovation and profits.

Although his companies benefit from more than 20 billion dollars in government contracts, he has long complained of strangling the red tape of Tesla, Spacex and others.

Soon after the start of donating a quarter of a billion dollars for the campaign to re -election Donald Trump, musk has made a role in reducing the size of the country, or set an unlikely goal to provide one billion dollars, or nearly a third of the US annual budget of $ 6.8 million.

Even the Republican leaders who have long enjoyed the opportunity to shrink the government seem to be skeptical about the Music mission. When he was asked in December if Dog will succeed, Republican Senator Mitch McConnell told FT, “Who knows?”

Musk reduced itself from expectations in early January, indicating that Doge may only be able to determine $ 1 trillion. His leader participating in the proposed administration, Vivic Ramasuami, left the initiative, along with the chief legal advisor.

“My initial reading was: well, they cannot do much of anything,” says one of the former Republican Congress employees. “I feel this was a tremendous Hadvak.”

Any doubts about the effectiveness of Dog were allocated by the opening of the opening in the Musk Cost campaign, where its team quickly became the government’s human resources department in the government, and provides purchases for millions of employees, and get rid of diversity, assistance and development programs.

This was met with a civil service ambush, which prompted anger from trade unions and civil rights organizations, with joy from Musk’s friends in Silicon Valley and other entrepreneurs in the field of technology. “The United States government has become a devastating force in American society,” said Keith Rabuis, Trump’s donor and technical investor who has known Musk for more than two decades.

Doug’s tactics seemed to have been adopted by the emerging ecosystem. She reflected many of her moves closely that Musk posted after her Twitter in 2022, when he and his deputies quickly reduced costs, launched 80 percent of the workforce and demanded annoying from those who remained in what critics call the “playing book to destroy” .

An email sent last week urges federal workers to accept a repetition that uses the same phrase – “a thorn in the road” – which Musk used during the Twitter restructuring.

Musk has also recruited some of his internal circle that helped in his acquisition of Twitter, known as “fools” – in addition to a group of young teenagers and early twenties of the last century who responded to his surrender to “Super Super Thorians from the young rule ready to work More than 80 hours a week in the initiative.

Among the most experienced loyalists, Musk Steve Davis, head of the tunnel company, brought in a boring company, which led rounds of layoffs through X and Hard Pargining with sellers from the “war room” at the headquarters of San Francisco.

Musk succeeded in reducing the company, but the process was turbulent. Former employees argue that the company lost critical talents and knowledge about how X systems work as a result of heavy maneuver, which led to the defects in the months that followed the acquisition. In some cases, the company begged the employees to return. Others noticed that the familiar abstinence of musk at the time is to “allow them to prosecute”-an approach that ultimately called on legal challenges and confrontation with contractors.

However, Musk adopted comparisons as it transformed on Twitter, as it boasts of selling billions of dollars this week from the debts used to buy the social network, whose financial resources have recently improved. “It seems as if you were good with money,” he wrote.

In early Doug meetings, Some participants, starting from the campaign to cancel the restrictions, prefer, which worries that the attack on government spending – unlike a private company – feel frustrated quickly due to bureaucracy, legal challenges and the constitutional authority of Congress on funding, known as the “portfolio power”.

But the clear seizure of this authority with the rapid cancellation of the funds already specified in the United States Agency for International Development and other places did not even provoke a blow from the majority leader in the House of Representatives Mike Johnson, who welcomed Dog’s interventions at a press conference this week as “long awaited” and the development of welcome a lot ” .

“When the Congress finances an agency, they offer a discretionary authority to the executive authority on how it is managed,” said Trump’s ally. “They are now using this power in a way that has not been used for a long time. Therefore, it looks radical, [but] it’s not.”

Those who tried to object to Doug’s plans, or asked legal questions, have not continued for a long time. David Liberic, who spent more than 35 years in the treasury and was briefly responsible while Scott Beesen was waiting for confirmation, resigned after the Musk team asked to reach a review of the multi -dollar payment system in the department.

“If this is a truly typical review, then why is the extreme urgency and shameful treatment of an exceptional federal executive,” says Don Hammond, a former Treasury official.

Musk also used X, which has more than 216 million followers, to criticize DOGE critics and boast of his work. He threatened to report those who revealed the names of the administration’s law enforcement employees, prompting the American lawyer to the United States lawyer in Washington to ensure that he will use his authority “against anyone who hinders your work or threatens your people.”

Although Dog moved quickly, her plans have achieved some resistance. As of Thursday, 60,000 federal workers just its acquisition offer, less than the hundreds of thousands that the White House predicted.

The risk of recruiting Dog employees is relatively experienced when 25 -year -old Marco Elise, who had access to the US Treasury payment network, had to resign after discovering racist social media posts.

After days of controlling the musk on the main headlines, Trump himself suggested that there are restrictions on the powers of the billionaire, and reporters told that “Elon could not do anything without our approval.” But Friday, he praised the “great job” that was on the “finding a huge fraud, corruption and wastes.”

It also made some legal challenges against Doug’s progress, as a federal judge prohibits Elon Musk from handing over the US Treasury data on Thursday, and a court in Massachusetts, which temporarily extends to the deadline for the acquisition of employees.

But even in the accelerated timetable, the wheels of the justice system in the United States slowly turn more than the Silicon Valley efficiency engine in Musk.

Labor organizations seek an emergency restriction order to prevent Doug from reaching the regulations of the Ministry of Labor, but warned that Dog can get “access to sensitive systems before the courts can also intimidate employees.

“They find technical techniques to work on their way,” says Richard Pinter, who was the chief ethical lawyer in George W. Bush. “They find gaps to practice the presidential authority in unprecedented ways.”

Musk will need to “strip a lot or re -benefit from a lot” to avoid overcoming laws that oppose interests that govern federal employees. But the enforcement of such rules would decrease to the Ministry of Justice in Trump, which has already shown its loyalty to the president’s work with a series of notes designed to follow his enemies.

The restrictions imposed on the MUSK strength are likely to come from the competing priority of the Trump administration. Doge has not yet aimed at social security and Medicaid payments on which tens of millions of Americans or in the Ministry of Defense, which together represent the largest part of federal spending.

Trump pledged not to touch the benefits of social welfare in “any method, shape, or shape”, while the conference, which the Republicans lead, are not punished by the Pentagon’s budget.

Musk hinted himself that his next goals could be the Ministry of Education, which Trump previously pledged to get rid of, service internal revenue, and American weapons purchases.

The arrival of the White House in Russell, the new head of the administration and budget office, which spent years determining how the executive authority can seize the power of the wallet from Congress, can leave Dog’s efforts.

“It is clear that I am pleased with progress, both direction and speed.” “Just wait even [Trump] He has all his barrels in place. “
