Elon Musk Says DOGE Involvement Is Making It Harder To run His Businesses

During his interview with Fox’s Larry Kudlow, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk revealed that his involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) launched by Donald Trump makes it more challenging to handle his various business operations. Musk admitted to the challenge during his interview with Kudlow about overseeing X, Tesla, xAI, SpaceX, The Boring Company, Neuralink, and Starlink. “With great difficulty,” Musk replied. I find it unbelievable that I’m currently sitting here performing this task.

The staff of approximately 100 people at DOGE faces criticism because the initiative shows no significant achievements. The financial savings reported by the initiative stem from data that experts believe presents misleading information about canceled contracts and projected budget reductions.

DOGE has generated both financial doubts and cybersecurity vulnerabilities as part of its operations. Staff members who lack government operational experience reportedly accessed sensitive agency information by using insecure methods, which threatens national security.

Musk maintains that DOGE involvement creates problems for him, yet critics maintain that his initiative primarily benefits his business operations. The planned virtual wallet of X faces delayed oversight from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because of DOGE’s impact on the organization. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has experienced workforce reductions while investigating Tesla’s self-driving technology. The Federal Aviation Administration and Securities and Exchange Commission have experienced workforce reductions even though they have faced conflicts with Musk’s companies.

Musk shows no indication of stopping his DOGE project despite all the controversies that surround it. The question about his continued involvement for another year received a straightforward answer of “Yeah” from him. Reports hold no meaning, according to him. Action stands as the essential requirement in this situation.
