Elon Musk admitted that US President Donald Trump’s connection to the Government Productivity Department (DOGE), which is an attempt to reduce federal expenditures, made it difficult to manage the companies he directed. Speaking to Larry Kudlow at Fox Business on Monday, the famous billionaire said that the workload has increased due to Doge.“How do you manage your other work?” “With great difficulty,” Musk replied to the question. In fact, “frankly, I can not believe that I do this here,” he said he was surprised by the situation.
A difficult but useful job
While Dge stands out as an ambitious initiative to cut government expenditures, it is criticized for promising by many experts and doing less work. The institution, which currently has approximately 100 employees, is expected to reach a team of 200 people in a short time. However, experts in government contracts say that the savings figures announced by Doge do not reflect the truth and show “earnings iyle with misleading mathematics through canceled contracts.
Moreover, cyber security experts say that Doga is at risk of US infrastructure infrastructure. It is suggested that some Doge employees who do not dominate the issue have access to government systems in unsafe ways and copy sensitive data to unprotected servers.
Although Musk says that advising Dogge is forcing him to force him, he is accused of using this initiative in favor of his own companies. It is said that Musk relieves the business of companies such as X, Tesla and SpaceX under investigation or supervision by weakening the state institutions. On the other hand, Musk announced that he would extend his relationship with Doge for another year.
