Current situation of government efficiency department: core employees are leaving one after another, from high-profile layoffs to low-key reforms

On July 11th, according to internal records reviewed by the US political news website Politico and informed sources, at least eight original core employees of the Department of Efficiency (DOGE) have left the government. In the past six months, anyone who wants to enter the sixth floor of the General Services Administration headquarters - the core office area of Musk's government efficiency department - must go through an armed security check, and only those whose names appear on the pre-approval list can enter. Now, the security guard has evacuated, and the sign next to the elevator that originally read 'Authorized personnel only' is gone. Compared to the high-profile layoffs of employees in the first few months, DOGE's current focus has changed. Recent work includes deleting useless government websites and phone lines, revoking unused software licenses, and collaborating with the National Meteorological Administration to upgrade the national meteorological broadcasting system. In addition, DOGE is also developing a new project called AI.gov, aimed at accelerating government innovation through artificial intelligence. (Golden Ten)
