Department Of Government Efficiency Drops 1.4% After Trump Ends Musk's Email Mandate

The latest price of Department Of Government Efficiency was $0.008343, down 1.4% in the last 24 hours. The Trump administration has officially terminated the controversial "five things" weekly email requirement originally instituted by Elon Musk during his leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency. This practice, mandated for federal employees to list weekly accomplishments under threat of termination, was widely criticized for inefficiency. Estimates suggested the process resulted in significant wasted resources amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars, contributing to the decision to abandon the initiative.

Simultaneously, the Department of Defense's significant workforce reduction efforts have been proceeding, with approximately 55,000 applications approved through voluntary deferred resignation programs as of July 2025. Officials acknowledged that the strategic approach guiding these cuts was heavily informed by the operational philosophies championed earlier by the Elon Musk-led DOGE team. While initial goals for downsizing appear to have been met, questions remain within the Pentagon about whether a third round of voluntary resignation options will be offered to employees.

At the state level, the Iowa DOGE Task Force remains active in its mission to identify taxpayer savings. The task force recently reviewed a series of proposals encompassing workforce optimization, technological upgrades, and reassessing the delivery of city services. This activity demonstrates the continued influence of DOGE principles within state-level government efficiency initiatives.

Florida's Department of Government Efficiency has initiated an investigation into Orange County operations. In response to a formal notice from the state DOGE, Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings expressed confidence in the county's financial management and readiness for the investigation.

Separately, an incident involving an assault on a former individual associated with the DOGE prompted public commentary threatening a federal intervention in Washington D.C.'s policing structure.
