In a bizarre and surreal Oval Office circus, Elon Musk and Donald Trump ratcheted up DOGE’s infiltration of the federal government. The occasion was Trump signing of a new executive order furthering seeding DOGE across government (except the military) and laying the groundwork for a new round of purges of the federal workforce.

Elon Musk answered questions on Tuesday in the Oval Office next to President Donald Trump about his dramatic makeover of the federal government, saying they have identified billions of dollars in fraud and waste without providing specific evidence.
