DOGE is part of the “U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization (USDSTO)” which is a temporary team created by the EO to act at the whim of the President and they are not employees of the Federal Government.
That is what Elon Musk runs.
The USDS (“United States Digital Services” renamed “United States DOGE Services”) _is_ an existing department of the US Government. However, Elon Musk has NOTHING to do with that. I don’t know what they’re doing except having a new name.
USDS is a real department that answers to Congress.
USDSTO is a fictional ‘entity’ that is not an organization or department of the US Government but a team of fellas brought it from the outside by the President. They do not answer to Congress and they are VERY MUCH EXCEEDING their authority, which does not include budgetary changes, which fall under Congress.
Shell game.
