Current situation of the government efficiency department: core employees leave one after another, from high-profile layoffs to low-key reforms

Mars Finance News, on July 11, according to internal records and sources consulted by the US political news website Politico, at least eight of the original core employees of the Government Efficiency Department (Doge) have left the government. In the past six months, anyone wanting to enter the sixth floor of the US General Services Administration headquarters - the core office area led by Musk - must be checked by an armed guard, with only those whose names appear on a pre-approved list allowed entry. Now, this guard has been withdrawn, and the sign that originally read "Authorized Personnel Only" next to the elevator has disappeared. Compared to the high-profile dismissal of employees in the first few months, Doge's work focus has now changed. Recent work includes removing useless government websites and phone lines, canceling unused software licenses, and collaborating with the National Weather Service to upgrade the national weather broadcast system. Additionally, Doge is developing a new project called AI.gov, aimed at accelerating government innovation through artificial intelligence. (Jin Shi)
