A new executive order by President Trump merges Elon Musk's DOGE initiative with the United States Digital Service (USDS), aiming to streamline and modernize government IT infrastructure. This move raises questions about the extent of DOGE's influence and the future of USDS, which was previously known for its innovative approach to government technology.

Addressing a single executive order from Donald Trump’s voluminous first-day edicts is like singling out one bullet in a burst from an AK-47. But one of them hit me in the gut. That is “Establishing and Implementing the President’s Department of Government Efficiency.’’ The acronym for that name is DOGE , and it’s the Elon Musk –led effort to cut government spending by a trillion bucks or two.

How many open positions do they have? What are the skill sets? What are their top contracts? When are they renegotiating their most important contracts? How much do they spend on operations and maintenance versus R&D or innovation? You should know all these things.” If DOGE gets that information and uses it well, it could be transformational.
