The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), created by President Trump in January 2025 and led by Elon Musk, is a controversial entity aimed at modernizing and rationalizing the US federal administration. With ambitious targets such as the massive reduction of government spending and staff, the DOGE is strongly critical of its legitimacy, transparency and potential conflicts of interest. Although presented as a spearhead of government effectiveness, its consultative status and the numerous legal challenges it faces call into question its real effectiveness and sustainability.
