According to BlockBeats, on November 17, the official X account of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) tweeted: "In 1955, the U.S. tax code had less than 1.5 million words. Today, the number of words has exceeded 16 million. Due to this complexity, Americans spend a total of 6.5 billion hours each year preparing and filing taxes. This must be simplified."

BlockBeats Note: The origin of the name Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is not a coincidence. It was suggested to Musk by the DOGE community and adopted. Musk said, "This is a perfect name."
