DetailsLast week, information emerged that the DOGE Department – known for its radical “move fast and break things” style and for some time associated with Elon Musk – had allegedly ceased to exist.
But, as WIRED reports, Edward Koristin, Gavin Klieger, Marco Elez, Akash Bobba, and Ethan Shaotran – well-known employees of the department – continue to indicate their affiliation with DOGE or the US government in their profiles.

A source in the US Department of Agriculture categorically denies the liquidation of DOGE, stating that its representatives “have dug into agencies like ticks.” Although the department no longer carries out rapid reforms, its affiliates seem to have settled in the government for a long time.
Some former DOGE employees have already taken influential positions: Scott Langmack headed the direction of artificial intelligence deregulation, and Sam Baida became deputy head of the Center for Disease Prevention, despite a lack of experience in healthcare. Others moved to a new office in the White House, including Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia, who received the role of chief designer of the United States.
