DOGE, or the Department of Government Efficiency, is a commission led by Elon Musk aimed at cutting costs from the federal budget.

Opponents of President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk plan to rally across the U.S. to protest the administration’s actions on government downsizing, the economy, human rights and other issues

Musk has led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been instrumental in the significant downsizing of the federal government since, Trump assumed office. Musk's term as a special government employee is set to expire in May or June.

Social media users roasted tech billionaire Elon Musk after he tried to make a joke about federal agencies. Musk, who has spearheaded the Department of Government Efficiency’s efforts to slash government spending, criticized the U.S. Institute of Peace on Tuesday, where most of its workers were notified over the weekend that they had been fired.

Over a dozen protests are planned across Washington, from Vancouver to Bellingham, and from cities along the Pacific Coast to Spokane.

THE DOGE MUST GO ON: Even as ELON MUSK signals a step back from his high-profile role in the Trump administration’s crusade to upend the federal government, the billionaire’s imprint on the bureaucracy is likely to endure.

The White House rebutted reports that Elon Musk would leave the administration before the end of his 130-day special government employee appointement.
