Less than a month before, centibillionaire Elon Musk and other DOGE leaders had announced their departure from government. But without flashy leadership, DOGE technologists are now quietly cycling into federal agencies, spending days or weeks building products and cutting contracts before cycling out once again. “We used to say things like ‘DOGE wants to review X, Y, Z.’ But now our boss says not to call them DOGE anymore,” one US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) employee says. At the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), another federal employee told WIRED that DOGE is now being referred to as “The USDA Digital Service.”When Musk left government in an official capacity, it was unclear what would happen to DOGE. Sahil Lavingia, a former DOGE member previously identified by WIRED and stationed at the VA, claims that Davis hasn’t fully broken with DOGE.
