The temporary organization behind the Department of Government Efficiency reached its scheduled termination date Saturday, July 4, 2026. 
President Donald Trump's executive order last year creating the U.S. 
DOGE Service Temporary Organization set a July 4, 2026, termination date for that temporary organization. 
"A smaller Government, with more efficiency and less bureaucracy, will be the perfect gift to America on the 250th Anniversary of The Declaration of Independence," Trump said when he announced the initiative. 
DOGE claims it saved $215 billion, including by slashing duplicative software licenses, canceling diversity, equity and inclusion grants and terminating leases for underused office space. 
The figure has been disputed, and DOGE’s public receipts do not fully document the headline savings claim. 
The webpage showing DOGE's savings listed $215 billion in estimated savings as of Sunday. 
**ELON MUSK LOSES TRILLIONAIRE STATUS AFTER TECH SELL-OFF ERASES BILLIONS FROM FORTUNE** 
Billionaire tech executive Elon Musk, who led DOGE's cost-cutting efforts when Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, stepped down from the department in May of last year. 
"The final step of @DOGE is to delete itself," Musk said in December 2024. 
DOGE initially aimed to save $2 trillion in government cuts before reducing its goal to $1 trillion. 
In its final social media post, DOGE said: "While the formal mission of DOGE has come to an end, the mission to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse will continue." 
"Good stewardship of taxpayer dollars and accountable government are not temporary initiatives," the July 4 X post reads. 
"We hope those principles endure long into America’s next 250 years. 
It has been our greatest honor to serve the American people. 
Happy 4th!" 
The White House praised the administration's efforts to cut government spending through DOGE. 
"President Trump was given a clear mandate to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse from the federal government," White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said in a statement to Politico. 
"He has made significant progress in making the federal government more efficient to better serve the American taxpayer." 
No final DOGE review is expected, according to Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought. 
**NUMBERS SHOW HOW MUCH TRUMP HAS SLASHED GOVERNMENT WORKFORCE** 
"We have no plans to do kind of a closing DOGE report," Vought said at a hearing on Tuesday. 
"We're always happy to give you our assessment of that work. 
I think it made some really important strides." 
The White House budget proposal released in April asked for $35 million for the U.S. 
DOGE Service. 
But Rep. 
Dave Joyce, R-Ohio, pointed out that DOGE "was pretty much eliminated." 
DOGE Service acting Administrator Amy Gleason has also taken on a new role, leading a health technology office at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Healthcare Dive reported last month.
