Summary
Elon Musk, as head of DOGE, is cutting jobs at agencies regulating his businesses.
DOGE has fired FDA staff reviewing Neuralink trials and NHTSA employees overseeing Tesla’s safety. The Justice Department also dropped an immigration case against SpaceX.
Meanwhile, X’s legal team is allegedly pressuring advertisers, with concerns that the Trump administration could block a major industry merger.
Critics say Musk is using his government role to eliminate oversight and protect his financial interests.
Bet he gets reimbursement from the government for his private jet flights now. It’s already listed in GSA guidelines for business travel reimbursements for no good reason because if you own a private jet you don’t deserve reimbursement for anything ever and should owe money instead.
