Elon Musk has told multiple people that he has been sleeping at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) headquarters in Washington, DC, WIRED has learned, as he works to exercise control over the federal government. DOGE is based out of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, just steps from the White House.
At an exclusive black-tie dinner hosted by the Alfalfa Club last week, Musk told associates that he’d even been invited to spend the night in the White House itself in the Lincoln Bedroom.
The news shows how deeply Musk has embedded himself in President Donald Trump’s orbit—and how closely he’s following his tried-and-true playbook from Tesla and Twitter (now X).
Elon Musk is bringing his ‘hardcore’ work ethic to DOGE as he’s reportedly told allies he’s been sleeping in their Washington offices.
The DOGE chairman has kept at the same pace as Donald Trump’s fast-moving administration, already pitching several ideas and ensuring that Trump’s vision is carried out at the highest level.
Now, it appears he’s first to arrive and last to leave, telling multiple associates that he’s been offered the Lincoln Bedroom by the administration, Wired reported.
Musk claims he has settled for the DOGE office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, not far away.
The Tesla CEO was put there to create some boundaries between himself and the president after Chief of Staff Susie Wiles denied him an office in the West Wing.
He supposedly told allies this at The Alfalfa Club, an exclusive Washington gathering that exists only to hold an annual black tie banquet on the last Saturday of January at the Capital Hilton.
Musk is known for his ‘hardcore’ work habits and for demanding similar ethic of his employees.
