Elon Musk has reportedly told people he’s been sleeping in his DOGE office in D.C., but has been invited to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom inside the White House itself.

DOGE builds on the United States Digital Service, now rebranded as the U.S. DOGE Service. According to Trump's executive order, the newly rebranded department will cut red tape and streamline government IT systems. Per the EO, DOGE has roughly 18 months (July 4, 2026) to achieve the administration's goal.

Lawmakers say Musk's apparent misunderstanding of the way government programs work could threaten his whole agenda.
