Billionaire Elon Musk has already secured a White House email address and office space, clearing the way for him to launch the cost-cutting effort he’s called the Department of Government Efficiency.

President Donald Trump set a formal structure to that effort Monday, signing an order renaming the US Digital Service — which currently exists as an in-house technology think tank within the presidency — as the US DOGE Service. That office will staff Musk’s group, which will be a temporary organization authorized to recruit outside volunteer experts.
