President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an advisory group aimed at reducing government spending by cutting federal jobs and agencies. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), is leading the group, which seeks to eliminate three-quarters of federal jobs and modernize government technology.
The initiative has already drawn lawsuits from watchdog groups, unions, and public interest organizations, citing potential violations of federal advisory laws. Among the challengers are National Security Counselors, Public Citizen, and the American Federation of Teachers. Critics argue the committee lacks official power to implement the sweeping reforms Musk and co-chair Vivek Ramaswamy had proposed.
Ramaswamy, a former Republican presidential candidate, recently left the group to focus on a gubernatorial run in Ohio, according to sources familiar with his plans.
Trump praised DOGE’s ambitious goals during his announcement, promising a streamlined, effective government. The executive order allows the group to hire 20 individuals to oversee its objectives. However, the White House and Tesla have not commented on the legal challenges.
Advisory committees aiming to cut government waste are not new. Similar initiatives, such as President Reagan's 1982 task force, often face delays and limited implementation. Experts question whether DOGE will fare differently.
Lawsuits highlight concerns about transparency and potential violations of laws governing federal advisory committees. Critics argue the group’s proposals could destabilize public services and eliminate essential roles.
Despite the legal hurdles, Trump’s administration remains committed to pursuing government efficiency, framing the initiative as a key effort to modernize operations and reduce federal spending.
With high-profile leadership and controversial goals, the future of DOGE’s proposals remains uncertain amid mounting opposition.
