Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) - set up to cut US government spending - claims to have saved, on average, more than $10bn a week since President Trump entered office. "We're talking about almost $200bn and rising fast," Trump told the BBC when talking about Mr Musk's cost-cutting drive on 23 April.

Elon Musk said he's stepping back from his DOGE role to focus on Tesla. That doesn't mean the DOGE-fueled federal worker firings will stop.
