The DOGE led by Musk picked up the machete for the third time after three days of opening, this time targeting embassies abroad affiliated with the U.S. State Department.

An official announcement from the DOGE stated that the United States plans to spend US$784 million on taxpayers to build a new embassy in South Sudan. The total annual GDP of South Sudan is only about US$8 billion. This means that a US embassy accounts for nearly 10% of the country’s GDP…

South Sudan is a landlocked country in East Africa that gained independence from Sudan in 2011. The country is prone to civil war and is one of the poorest countries in the world.

At present, it seems that the DOGE is really promoting the reform of the federal government at the pace of one knife a day. It should be noted that the DOGE is not only a newly established department, but also at the beginning of its establishment, it was made clear that the department would only last for one and a half years, and its mission would end on July 4th, 2026. And Musk has said that all employees will not receive salary.
