Current State of the Government Efficiency Department: Core staff members are leaving one after another, shifting from high-profile layoffs to low-key reform

BlockBeats News, July 11th, according to internal records and sources familiar with the matter as reported by the U.S. political news website Politico, at least eight initial members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have now left the government. Over the past six months, anyone wishing to enter the sixth floor of the U.S. General Services Administration headquarters—also known as Musk's Department of Government Efficiency core office area—had to undergo screening by an armed guard, and only those whose names appeared on a pre-approved list were allowed entry. However, the guard has now been removed, and the sign next to the elevator that used to read "Authorized Personnel Only" is no longer there.

Compared to the high-profile firings of early months, DOGE's current focus has shifted. Recent work has included removing redundant government websites and phone lines, canceling unused software licenses, and collaborating with the National Weather Service to upgrade the nationwide weather broadcast system. Additionally, DOGE is working on a new project called AI.gov, aiming to accelerate government innovation through artificial intelligence. (Golden Finance)
