: President Trump signed an executive order to make Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) commission more official. The order renames the U.S. Digital Service to the U.S. DOGE Service and requires agency heads to form 'DOGE Teams.' The initiative focuses on modernizing government technology and improving efficiency, set to conclude by July 4, 2026. Legal challenges question the transparency and legality of DOGE under U.S. law.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to formalize the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a commission led by Elon Musk. Renaming the U.S. Digital Service as the U.S. DOGE Service, the order aims for federal agency consultations and team formations to implement efficiency-breaking DOGE plans.

The executive order requires federal agencies to form 'DOGE Teams' of at least four members within 30 days, collaborating with DOGE on modernizing IT systems. These teams will involve various professionals like engineers and attorneys to execute Trump's DOGE plan that culminates by July 4, 2026.

Amidst legal debates on the commission's transparency, lawsuits have been filed under the Federal Advisory Committee Act requirements. DOGE's potential to cut $2 trillion from the U.S. budget includes Elon Musk's controversial plans to restructure major financial agencies like the FDIC and OCC.
