Musk's Subordinate Indicates Potential Departure from DOGE Project
Elon Musk, a special government employee at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has concluded his 130-day tenure, as confirmed in a public statement appreciating President Trump's opportunity to minimize federal spending. The DOGE initiative remains active within the government, with many of its members integrated as permanent or senior personnel across departments, most notably the General Services Administration (GSA).
The GSA has served as a gateway for multiple DOGE officials who then move to other agencies, preparing for long-lasting changes and profound cost-cutting reforms. However, specific details regarding key individuals like Nicole Hollander and Steve Davis remain unclear.
Musk's departures and those of other DOGE officials, including Nicole Hollander and Steve Davis, according to reports, may signal continued influence and presence within the federal government. Both Davis and Hollander played instrumental roles during Musk's Twitter takeover in 2022, significantly reducing the company's real estate footprint and workforce.
In recent weeks, some members of the DOGE team, such as Edward Coristine, also known as "Big Balls," have been spotted in agency offices. At the GSA, missions like preparing for the sale of hundreds of federal office buildings continue, as demonstrated by a memo concerning the Captain John F. Williams Coast Guard building.
The White House and the GSA have not commented on the status of specific individuals, such as Hollander or Davis, and both parties did not respond to requests for comment. Hollander could not be reached for comment prior to publication.
The DOGE team's ongoing presence and influence within the federal government suggest a commitment to enduring change and significant cost-cutting reforms.
