DOGE is down to about 45 employees, but others have burrowed their way into government agencies as full time employees. Some are helping Vought's efforts to downsize the government. Others are implementing private AI across government.
A quieter, more dispersed version of DOGE began to emerge, its members plugging away at fairly specific policy areas with whatever authority and resources they had left. Forty-five DOGE employees remain as of October, a White House shutdown plan revealed, plus dozens more who have transitioned to working for an agency full-time. Atop the GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service, Gruenbaum is striking deals with tech companies for the widespread implementation of AI throughout the federal government. Gruenbaum, who declined to comment on his role, also contributed to the so-called “Compact for Academic Excellence in Education” that most universities have resisted signing and is now in Israel implementing the administration’s Gaza peace plan.

Some incredible details in this piece
*one DOGE faction was planning the future of the US government at a venture capital firm
*illegally communicating on Signal to avoid transparency laws was deeply embedded into organizational culture to be taken for granted
When Davis learned that a breakaway faction was gathering on a Saturday afternoon at the offices of venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz to plot a strategy for DOGE’s future, he began calling likely attendees and told them not to attend what he called the “coup” meeting. (The firm did not respond to a request for comment on its role in DOGE’s work.) Those at the meeting who looked at their phones would have seen their fortunes change in real time, as they were removed from Signal group chats — DOGE’s primary status marker of who belonged.
