Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) has faced backlash for its aggressive cost-cutting tactics in uncovering fraudulent government spending. While President Donald Trump stands by Musk's efforts, watchdog groups, state officials, and federal employees have criticized D.O.G.E. Initiatives, including lawsuits targeting Musk for his actions. The lawsuits argue that Musk is exercising executive power without Senate confirmation, violating the Constitution's Appointments Clause. D.O.G.E. has also triggered controversy in the firing of federal IT workers from the U.S. Digital Service (USDS), an agency that provided IT and cybersecurity support to the government. The future of D.O.G.E. remains uncertain, as it faces legal challenges and potential Supreme Court involvement.
