What to do From the so-called Ministry of Government Effectiveness at this stage of the Trump administration? Elon Musk allegedly moved away from his government functions. The courts are trying to demolish some of the most flagrant efforts in Doge. It may seem that the worst excesses of Doge have passed, replaced by something closer to a stasis.
This is not true. Not even near.
Although Doge’s image has probably burned in your retina is that of Elon Musk brandishing a literal saw, the theaters believe that an organization that has quietly impregnated all the corners of the federal government. More than that, it is increasingly clear that its objectives are now indistinguishable from that of the broader administration of Trump. Remove Doge at this stage is like trying to eliminate a drop of food coloring from a glass of water.
And what does he do with his perch? Not strong, awkwardly trying to dismiss thousands of employees, but working in secret to collect, combine and analyze data that has never been intended for Comele. Use this information to find and monitor immigrants. Give the Ministry of Justice a pass On acts of alleged electoral fraud.
Even if Musk claims that he is moving away – although he has met Republicans of the Chamber this week – his lieutenants are still firmly in place in agencies that control the federal workforce and regulate his businesses. Doge is would have used His chatbot XAI GROK to analyze sensitive data, which potentially means millions of personal information from Americans is coupled as a training data for the model. A 19 -year -old who goes through large online bullets is always a central figure.
Meanwhile, victories against Doge can be short -lived. The Trump administration used it as a ram to push its policies with overwhelming force. Although the courts have held firm in some cases – just this week, a judge declared the redemption of DOGE from the Institute of Peace of the United States illegal – policies still exist, and there are other ways to carry them out. The Wall Street Journal recently reported This director of the White House management office and the Russell Vought budget would take the coat to reduce Doge costs in the post-musque era. Expect that it does not handle a hammer but a finely bordered blade.
It has always been the plan. Vought is the architect of the 2025 project, the political roadmap that Doge followed in turn. He has explained for months what happens after the first assault on Doge.
“We are going to use all our executive tools to make these savings permanent,” said Vought in an interview with the anchor of Fox Business Larry Kudlow on March 11. “We are going to do everything we can to make sure that it is not just something that goes on a website, but we must be permanent presidential tools to set up these savings at home.”
