The U.S. Government Performance Office (DOGE) led by billionaire Elon Musk stated that it has helped the U.S. government cut $1 billion from its budget each day.

On January 29, on social media platform X, the U.S. Government Performance Office (DOGE), established by President Donald Trump and led by billionaire Elon Musk, announced that it has managed to cut approximately $1 billion in federal spending each day, according to RT.

"DOGE is saving the federal government about $1 billion a day, primarily by preventing the hiring of unnecessary staff, eliminating the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) program, and blocking ineffective aid to foreign organizations. All of this follows the President's decree," DOGE stated.

Additionally, this agency has stated its goal to reduce costs by more than $3 billion each day for the government.

According to RT, the ineffective aid to foreign organizations mentioned by DOGE relates to the Trump administration's decision to suspend almost all foreign aid programs for 90 days for review.

Since taking office on January 20, Mr. Trump has taken decisive actions to eliminate DEI programs across the federal government.

DEI aims to address issues of racial and gender discrimination by promoting workplace opportunities for women, minorities, LGBTQ individuals, and other minority groups.

However, Mr. Trump called these programs "discriminatory" and emphasized the need to restore a hiring system "based on merit."

DOGE was first proposed during Mr. Trump's presidential campaign last summer and was later formalized into a presidential advisory committee.

DOGE is not a government agency but a temporary organization focused on reducing government spending. This agency aims to cut up to $2 trillion in federal spending by July 2026.
