Musk calls Doge only ‘somewhat successful’ and says he would not do it again
AI Summary
Elon Musk stated that the "department of government efficiency" (Doge), a federal job-cutting program he led during Donald Trump's presidency, was only "somewhat successful" and he wouldn't repeat the experience. Doge resulted in over 200,000 federal worker layoffs and 75,000 buyouts, with claims of billions saved that were difficult to verify. Critics accused Musk of dismantling government institutions to advance the Trump agenda, while Musk now suggests he would have been better off focusing on his companies. He also alluded to ideological opposition to liberal initiatives within the Doge taskforce. Musk's involvement led to vandalism against Tesla, and the company's shares declined significantly during that period.
