Summary at a Glance

The Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE, is a temporary advisory initiative set up by Trump and apparently spearheaded by X owner Elon Musk.

Octavia Spencer is channelling her character from The Help to promise an unusual gift for Elon Musk and employees at the Department of Government Efficiency.

DOGE has been tasked with significantly cutting back federal spending, and its efforts have so far proved controversial, prompting vast swathes of employees at government agencies to lose their jobs.

Spencer shared a photo on Instagram, showing the memorable scene in which her character Minny arrives at the home of her former employer, the villainous Hilly Holbrook, played by Bryce Dallas Howard.

The film was based on the novel by Kathryn Stockett, and followed the story of a young woman (Emma Stone) who decides to write about the hardships faced by African American maids working for white families in Mississippi during the civil rights movement.
