Elon Musk Moves Into DOGE Headquarters to Lead Cost-Cutting Efforts

The billionaire CEO is reportedly living at the Department of Government Efficiency's Washington office as he spearheads federal spending reductions.

Elon Musk has been staying at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) headquarters in Washington, D.C., located near the White House, to focus on streamlining federal operations and cutting costs.
Musk reportedly declined an invitation to stay in the White House's Lincoln Bedroom to avoid forming a closer relationship with President Donald Trump's team after being denied office space in the West Wing.
Under Musk's leadership, DOGE has implemented significant cost-cutting measures, including eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and websites, saving taxpayers approximately $1 billion per day.
One of DOGE's notable initiatives includes exploring the reduction or discontinuation of penny production, which cost taxpayers $179 million in losses in 2023 due to manufacturing costs exceeding their face value.
Musk's leadership style at DOGE reflects his history of extreme work habits, including sleeping at offices and factories, which has drawn criticism for fostering a potentially toxic workplace culture.
